Offa’s Dyke

Offa's Dyke

I have recently come back from a short walk along part of Offa’s Dyke.  This ancient earthwork runs between Wales and England and is still, in parts, redolent with the ghosts of soldiers long past who patrolled the line for the mighty King of Mercia. Set among inspiring countryside it is a strong reminder of our heritage, our history and how we have developed as a group of peoples for the most part living in harmony within our different cultures.  What heartache then to come home to find out that someone in the northern part had levelled this amazing ancient monument to build stables. 

We should perhaps all try to remember that we tread lightly on the past at the peril of all our futures. To understand from whence we come is to help us move peacefully and with confidence into the future.

best wishes

Globe Theatre on Tour

Globe Theatre on Tour

My friends and I saw the final two plays of the Henry VI and the York/Lancaster histories last night.  The Globe Theatre on Tour, what greater way to enjoy Shakespeare.  The mastery of the production and the performances were outstanding. We had such a good time. It seems unnecessary to single any actor out from the rest as the whole cast were beyond good but both Brendan O’Hea and Mike Grady excelled. We did wonder if the multiple deaths of Garry Cooper is some kind of record.

We loved the dancing at the end, would that I could have got up and joined in. 

Brilliant!

Three Henry VI Plays

Henry VI Trilogy, Shakespeare

With my theatre going friends I saw the first of the Shakespeare trilogy concentrating on Henry VI on Wednesday at Milton Keynes Theatre.  It was superbly done, raw, passionate and brilliantly staged. As we walked away from the theatre at the end I heard a couple of people being rather unkind about it.  The comments were unfounded and I think meant to impress the listener with their superior authority.  A shame as the cast portrayed a very complex period of history with great clarity.

We are off the the last two plays this evening and really looking forward to more exciting theatre.

Happy theatre going.
