Review of the BBC TV mini-series THE SALISBURY POISONINGS added. It received very good reviews for its focus on the individual human angle, and there are clear parallels with Coronavirus – parts of Salisbury were shut down for many months. For me, it dodged the main issue and avoided any attention on the guilty perpetrators. Most reviews would disagree with me and liked its focus.

The second review from this week’s Stratford-upon-Avon visit. The Royal Shakespeare Company presents Vanbrugh’s “The Provoked Wife” this time a raucous, bawdy Restoration comedy. This was way the better of the two plays this week.
