London Calling

Banish - ed

Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Well, last night Kirsten and I know where he was. He and Juliet were on stage in Regent's Park at the Open Air Theatre.

Each summer a series of Shakespeare's plays are put on as well as one non-Shakespeare play. An open air theatre in London? With the weather it may sound like a bad idea and I guess if it actually had rained we would have agreed. however we were fortunate to get cloudy skies that created a brilliant colourful backdrop as the sun set.

This particular performance was Romeo and Juliet in 50's style (I thought that's what West Side Story was???), except the script was all original Bill.

We grabbed a bite to eat before the performance but the food on offer did look good. But there was something very nice about watching Shakespeare under the night sky in an intimate venue with a nice bottle of red wine.

Truly how Will was meant to be enjoyed.

Now it's off to Crete, for some well deserved fun and sun after a week of celebration for 2 years of marriage.
