A visit to Stratford

Last week Nick and I went over to Stratford upon Avon to see a play in the newly refurbished Royal Shakespeare Theatre.  The renewed exterior of the building is shown below.

We unexpectedly met some old friends as we arrived and so did not get much further than the bar.  This means that I am unable to report on most of the new parts of the theatre, although the 'in the round' auditorium is a great improvement on the 1950's one from the point of view of both comfort and sight lines.

I spent my childhood in Stratford and so always enjoy going back to revisit friends and old haunts.
