But what would the Royal Company do? Something that doesn’t involve yet another reinterpretation of a story that’s been told a million times? The RSC have other stuff going on, go do that.

I sometimes wish there could be no musicals for a year, but usually I try to tolerate others‘ tastes that I don’t share😉. Anyway, I’m glad 2024 hasn’t been chosen for the Shakespeare ban or I’d have missed the Donmar Macbeth, Almeida Lear and RSC Dream & Love‘s Labour‘s Lost. I didn’t enjoy R&J, but I still spent a lot of time thinking about why JL & the actors made these choices, what were they trying to do, and comparing it to other productions. Being able to see multiple productions and really get to know the plays through different interpretations is part of the appeal of Shakespeare for me.

I have no doubt you’d have got it all in 2025 instead! Anyway I wasn't being entirely serious but even so after doing this job for 8 years now I do see occasional signs of fatigue even amongst the faithfuls.

Reading this thread I wasn’t expecting the huge standing ovation at the matinee today

Well, turns out I can't go to my original date so I got onto ATG about exchanging - they'll do it alright, but want an extra £200 so that's a 'nope'.
Ticket has gone off for resale via the theatre, I'm not sure how it works but there'll be a £145 ticket for Thur 25th available soon. Apparently they have to honour the original price.
Not having much luck with Shakespeare this week!
