They are like the #36 bus ~~ wait for hours and then 3 come along at once: by which I mean that for years the only one I had never caught up with was King John, & then 3 productions came my way within about 6 months. Not entirely sure, mind, whether or not I've managed all 3 parts of Henry VI.

Wonder sometimes which I have seen most productions of ~~ I have always seen as many as came my way; & as a critic for last 43 years, still working for an online Shax journal, & living and working from Cambridge 1968-about·2000 for the Guardian, The Times, Cambridge Review, Plays & Players, &c, with all the student Shax's + Camb Theatre Co at the Arts &c, there have been many.

Most has been 12N, I think probably; or maybe MND. But then, I ask myself, how many 12N's, e.g. have I seen over my 80 years (or say 67 as a regular theatregoer) ~ 30? 50? 100? more? Impossible to count.

& how many Ben Jonson's Alchemist, for that matter? 10? 20? 50?

Mind in a whirl ~~ think I'll go back to bed...
