Got tickets to see the local Shakespeare company doing a '1984' style' version of Julius Caesar next week and on my way out I noticed a 'just announced' flyer for Daniel Kitson (Spence from Phoenix Nights') so I'm off to see him in the summer too - both tickets for a bargain 18 quid  |

So I heard, it's only a small venue so I'm chuffed. I got front row seats for Rob Brydon two years ago - the bastard ripped it out of me for a good 10 minutes though ;D I decided I have to go and see more Shakespeare, so this is a start. Not got a lot of info on it, but they are all in suits and I got this blurb Our next production is a collaboration with the Lincoln Shakespeare Company - a ground-breaking development for both groups. Our Julius Caesar is set in a media-driven modern political world where Brutus has an ear for a soundbite and where Mark Antony knows how to use the TV cameras to win over the people of RomeOooh lovely! Shakespeare! Daniel Kitson is hilarious live. |

I'll be working for The British Shakespeare Company Erm...I think it's As You Like It and Henry V. It's at Kirkstall Abbey so it's open air! It's really lovely. Last year we had Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. The show starts at like 7pm and because it's summer, it's still light and as the show progresses, so does the sunset. People drink mulled wine too, so the scent of that fills the air. It's quite magical! |

I saw a modern version of Merchant of Venice - in the courtyard of a converted prison in the centre of Oxford a few months ago. Was good!

Thanks guys, sure I will enjoy it! It's in 'modern dress', and looks to be incorporating elements of '1984'...right up my street in other words!
