This is what the RSC does so superbly: the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Merry Wives of Windsor (FOLLOW LINK TO REVIEW) With David Troughton as Falstaff, set in modern day Essex. Stunning design too. There’s a live broadcast on 12 September, then it travels to London for several months.

Review of Romeo & Juliet at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, (LINKED) Stratford added. This was directed by Erica Whyman who did the A Midsummer Night’s Dream- A Play For The Nation in 2016 at the RSC. As you’d guess, it’s an urban youth setting, urgent, exciting.

Review of The National Theatre of Scotland Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, by Lee Hall at the National Theatre, London. Energetic, coarse, vulgar, great singing in this vibrant musical about a Catholic girls’ school choir from Oban who plan to “go mental” on the way to a choir contest. Very funny. Great music (mainly covers of ELO).
