And it was fun - Jesus and Judas were both excellent, and Pilate was a lot of fun as well. I am not sure that glitter in place of blood, in the '49 strokes' scene would have bee my choice, but it was oddly effective!
The same day, some of us went to Mere for dinner, and had a wonderful meal, preceded by some very pretty, and tasty, cocktails.
Glorious Lemon Verbena dessert |
Then, at the end of the month, I went to Chichester, in order to see John Simm and Dervla Kirwan, as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Before the show, I went to look around the Cathedral , which is small, as cathedrals go, but rather nice.
Tapestry |
There is a glass stage, over the 'blasted heath', and the witches enter from beneath it. There is also a glass backdrop.
I really enjoyed Simm's performance, particularly in the second half of the play, as Macbeth starts to unravel. However, the play did move slowly at times, and I did feel that the sound and stage design did, at times, overwhelm the play at times
I'm really glad I got to see John Simm (especially as I missed his Hamlet)
It's on until 28th October
