Coriolanus

Somewhat embarrassingly for an English teacher, I have never been to Stratford to watch any Shakespeare before but Alison and I went up this weekend and watched a production of a play I didn't know anything about at all, Coriolanus.

It was a fantastic experience with a three hour performance flying by. We had a relaxed drive up and enjoyable meal before hand and I was fully prepared to doze off during the play itself. However, despite a couple of very quick dozes, I was gripped by the play and found the time flew by.

We are planning to go up again soon to watch a performance of King Lear in May.

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
