My dc4 and 5 just went this evening to an RSC performance of The Tempest at St Alban's Academy, Birmingham.

Dh took them and said it was a really well performed show and my boys age 7 and 9 sat completely transfixed through the full 1.5 hours.
I'm glad I booked (it was free).
However he was a little dismayed that the audience was mainly adults rather than children and that some children were leaving part way through
Still...small steps I guess.

What a pity I have no time to read books outside a certain list ;I really wish to read this one, even though it is a children book! I am curious to see how the author has managed to give young ones of all abilities a story they can relate to, as well as providing valuable background about life at The Globe.

I have had also excellent echoes of this interpretation of The Tempest and I am looking farward to watch it on screen end of March.

If someone cannot wait until it transfers to London from 30 June, they can go and catch #RSCTempest in a cinema not too far from their home tomorrow, as more than 160 venues will be showing encore screenings across the country.

Find a cinema and book tickets:

Time to rename the thread Shakespeare celebrations 2017!
If interested and the weather is nice this week end, your family may enjoy Shakespeare's Circus in Stratford-upon-Avon and celebrate his 453rd birthday.
