selenakCurrently the weather is splendid, and the Aged Parent & self are using the opportunity to ski, which is great fun but alas means little online time. However, I checked the news, and what did I see, via angevin2? David Tennant will play Richard II. in the RSC's winter season. *eyes budget* I don't suppose they can also get Patrick Stewart again, to reprise his John of Gaunt? Never mind, it's great news, and I'm intrigued by the annoucement about plays based on Mantel's Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies as well. Oddly enough, more so than by the plans for a tv series based on them, perhaps because theatre is such a different medium that one's inner "but what about *cut bit of novel x*?" is automatically silent anyway. Also, RSC.
...there is bound to be a dvd made of Richard II, right? After all, if Cameron isn't just posing the Brits might lose the European market soon and need to export their best products, read, actors playing Shakespeare, as often as they can. :)
