Shakespeare

A big day of Shakespeare in Stratford after a great play last night.

The very contemporary take on King John had a lot of music and spitting. We think there is a correlation between acting skills and saliva production, i.e. the more you have the better. Modern costumes, music and casting (especially the bastard as a female) underscored the timelessness of his stories.

Visited the birthplace of the man himself, and also his son-in-law's house, and his neighbors house, and his graveyard. Missed out on going to his wife's childhood home because it was sold out. Not really, but we thinks we covered the main bits..

After Rach lost her last bag of mixed lollies in Brighton we have been on the lookout ever since. Jackpot: 3 types of cola bottles, 2 types of chocolate mice and Junior Mints.

Off to another show tonight, Richard III. Hopefully Trav lasts longer than last night, he was about to doze off in the final scene.
