Saturday, September 29th 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London We swore after our 2016 “Year of Lear”, having seen Michael Pennington, Sir Anthony Sher and Dame Glenda Jackson all give superb if wildly different interpretations of the role, that we would spare ourselves the gloom of it for a while and would…

Events 2017 – Christmas Trail, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock
Saturday, 25th November 2017 – Christmas Trail, Blenheim Palace Having been to the event in 2016 we were quite keen to do the Blenheim Palace Christmas Trail again in 2017 and so booked ourselves in good and early, which meant we had a good choice of dates (though the Saturday slots were filling up fast…
Events 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock
Tuesday 27th December, 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock Everyone’s doing it these days it seems, so after a bit of discussion we decided we would go and try out the Christmas light display at Blenheim Palace, a 40 minute drive away from home. We shelled out for tickets and for car parking,…

Saturday, 17th December 2016 – The Red Shoes, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London Above is a photo of the ceiling in Sadler’s Wells Theatre where we recently saw the latest of Sir Matthew Bourne’s splendid dance creations, “The Red Shoes“.

Theatre 2016 – No Man’s Land, London
Saturday, 8th October 2016 – No Man’s Land, Wyndham’s Theatre, London An opportunity presented itself early on this year to lay hands on tickets to see No Man’s Land at Wyndham’s Theatre in Covent Garden. When the two leads are played by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen it would have been frankly churlish not to…
Theatre 2016 – King Lear, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Thursday, August 25th 2016 – King Lear, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon This has very much been the year of Lear for us, with one already under our belts (Michael Pennington at the Royal & Derngate in Northampton) but now we were heading into the one we’ve very much been looking forward to. The Royal Shakespeare…
Theatre 2016 – Richard III, the Almeida, London
Saturday, August 6th 2016 – Richard III, Almeida Theatre, London One of the things we promised ourselves now we’re not spending every spare moment on motor racing was that we would do more in the way of music and theatre with the time we gained back. And so, early this year, we started looking to…
