And continuing our outings to the theatre (dahling) we saw the stupendous and much raved about production of Richard II on Saturday afternoon at the Old Vic. Superb! It was the freshest production of Shakespeare I have ever seen. The use of TV screens to enhance the drama, as well as the majesty of the pomp and ceremony of regal processions, references to modern-day terrorism, the breaking down of character speeches into not just dialogues directed at other characters but into interviews to an on-stage camera crew following the events of the attack and subsequent downfall of a King, oh and Kevin Spacey in the lead role of Richard II was incredible. The man can act.
