Last night at the Barbican Centre, I went with some RADA friends to see Cheek by Jowl’s magnificent production of Cymbeline, an old favourite of mine. There was a little tweaking of the text and some modern interpretation and design but it all worked. I absolutely loved it. I want to see as much of this company’s work as I can. No. I want to BE IN as much of this company’s work as a can. Incredibly innovative and engaging. I find this approach to Shakespeare so accessible that if younger generations continue to be exposed to such productions, the power of Shakespeare will only further increase and expand! And dominate the world – ha ha!!!!! The photo is of Myself, Aaron, Jonathon and Luis, all American boys, at a local bar down the street from RADA.
