All The World’s a Stage
Yesterday Harry Potter, today Shakespeare. Both great friends of the British tourism industry!
My niece is a professional actress currently touring Britain with the Red Shift Theatre company performing Shakespeare’s “Much Ado about Nothing”. I went to see her on stage last night as the tour ventured into South Wales. Needles to say she was brilliant as usual. However this was no ordinary performance - it was set against the backdrop of war torn Sarajevo in the 1990’s. And it worked. It just shows why Shakespeare is so popular. Great stories that have the right mix of love, jealousy, rivalry and revenge with a good quantity of comedy. I’m sure we all identify with different things in his works.
