Review added of John Ford’s Love’s Sacrifice by The Royal Shakespeare Company. This play has not been performed in 400 years and is produced as the “best play” from a list of late 16th / early 17th century plays which had never been performed in modern times. An absolutely stunning RSC production does it full justice.

I’ve added an article on the Poldark Effect under “Rants.” It’s only peripherally about the TV series, more on the historical fiction genre in general, but was inspired by the 2015 TV series.

A popular item on the blog has been the 2010 article on the three TV debates (See Mr Brown or Gordon?). This attempts to look at the Communication Skills, Appearance and Forms of Address used NOT the political content. I’ve continued the theme to the 2015 seven-way debate.
