Henry 1V
THe Shakespeare Festival at Gloucester has become a well known local festival for both Shakespeare and medieval enthusiasts!
The markets kept us occupied with interesting local produce and throughout the day there were exhibitions of knights fighting and archery. None of this was staged - it was real and fast!
We went to the matinee of an incredibly polished futuristic version of Henry 1V. What good is valour and pride in world decimated and destroyed! THe production, by Newcastle theatrical group was wonderful, thought provoking and at times comical.
The feast was fun - come dressed up and get into the swing of it! The decorations and conviviality are to be commended. We stayed at a motel in easy walking distance and have decided that we will definitely be back
with lots of our friends - hopefully!
