Whilst this blog is meant to provide members with news and views relevant to the body politic, there sometimes comes a point when one or other of the officers would like to use this facility to make personal comment, an impulse that we have always resisted.In this respect though, I have made an exception.
For those of us who struggled with the bard through those exam years can I recommend last nights BBC production of Macbeth, starring Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood. This production perhaps signals the way Shakespeare can make the transition to television and a wider audience.
An absolute cracker of a production. Chilling, terrifying and enthralling. English Lit never felt so good.
