I've got to admit, I've never been to one of those cinema RSC productions.

We used to go to Stratford so often that the parking attendant outside the theatre who kept our disabled parking slot knew us really well. He used to tell us if we were in for a good show. (He'd never actually been inside the theatre to see a play, but he'd heard what everyone said coming out,)

Nowadays, Denise too ill with rheumatoid to sit through a performance.

Yesterday I was in Bridport and going past a market stall. There was a dvd of Richard III , I'd never seen before. Ron Cook as crookback. The bloke who played Jarvis in Porridge as Hastings. three quid - a bargain!

I loved it but they hadn't cut a single line - as far as I could see.   Finished watching dvd 1 at 3am last night.
