I'm sorry guys, & I don't wish to bring disharmony where there was none, but I must make two points.

1) Shakespeare is bollox.

2) Sheffield folks enjoying culture? Do behave. Sheffield is in Yorkshire. Yorkshire don't do culture.

That apart, do carry on.

Shouldn't you be rangemerging, forsooth?

Nah, that's tomorrow.

Today, I shall mostly sleep. Perchance to dream, even.

Should say that play when performed in Sheffield is given a different title

I know...too easy...but couldn't resist.

I was totally oblivious to those summer shows, presumably because I am a Yorkshireman who doesn't do culture as Tikay suggested.

Sadly cant do either date you suggested Fras, as I am double booked (in Rotherham of all places) the first weekend and off to Gibraltar for a 'pretend its work' holiday for the other.

Anyone who claims Yorkshire doesn't do culture clearly has not seen or read that masterpiece known as Kes.

Speaking of another classic Yorkshire movies, this scene from Four Lions was filmed about 100 yards from my house:

How can you not like Shakespeare? Hamlet was magnificent when I read it during sixth form. Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead was a lot of fun to read too. His play Every Good Boy Deserves Favour sounds fantastic and I was gutted to miss one of the few performances of this play. It requires a full orchestra!

No trains innit

O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note,
To drown me in thy sister's floods of tears

Henry The Eighth Act 3, scene 1

Grow from the King's acquaintance, by this carriage.

[Tal]

Trainio, since for the great desire I had
To see fair Paddington, nursery of arts,
I am arriv'd for fruitful London Marylebone,
The pleasant garden of Regent’s Park,
And by Bakerloo's love and leave am arm'd
With his good will and thy good company,
My trusty servant well approv'd in all,
Here let us breathe, and haply institute
A course of learning and ingenious studies.
DLR, renowned for grave citizens,
Gave me my being and my Oystercard first,
A merchant of great traffic through the world,
Willesden Green, come of the Junction;
Willesden’s son, brought up in Brent,
It shall become to serve all hopes conceiv'd,
To deck the Jubilee with its virtuous greyness.
And therefore, Trainio, for the time I study,
Virgin and that part of the trip to Euston
Will I take heed of those threats of tube strikes
By virtue specially to be achiev'd.
Tell me thy mind; for I have a fiver left
And am to Paddington come as they say “leaves
on the line” to plunge us into delays,
And with that tannoy seek to quench my thirst.

- Lucentio, opening lines of The Taming of the Shrew

Incredible what he was able to write, that chap.
