Much A Do

[Curlysue]

Tis the time of year where i make my annual trip to the castle to watch the shakespeare play. I have been going for so many years i remember watching it on bales of hay!! Alas, things have changed since and i have it on good authority that the stage is going to be even bigger and better this year (apparently due to some miscalulations!!) Anyone else have plans to go? Am already getting in the spirit of things by using words like: Tis and alas.

Much Ado about Nothing, Act II, Sc. III

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.

Really undecided whether to go to see Shakespeare this year, although it is normally really good I am just not that fond of the comedies. I wish they would some of the historicals, King Lear is my favourite but Hamlet would be good too. Richard III about five years ago was absolutly fantastic!

If you havent been it's well worth the hike up the hill, it's nice to arrive abit early with some snackies/picnic and abottle of wine before the performance.Course only if it's nice weather . Can't go this year sadly but it's been great every time I have been . I remember the hay bales Curlysue think it was a "Richard " one can't remember ,lofty from deadenders was in it and there was a simulated hanging in it.( if I have the right one ?).bloody excellent stuff .

That one was I think the last one I went too.

It amused me at the time that there was a tall bloke in a battered leather trenchcoat and knackered army boots, with a dodgy limp and a ridiculous northern accent sitting there watching another one almost exactly the same overacting chronically.

Of course, considing the amount of wine that our lot used to get through up there, we'd have probably found badger baiting funny.
