A little bit more

Well, it happened again. Snow: but this time, it actually accumulated. Well, in a few spots.

Also on a continuation of my previous Shakespeare entry, last night I got to see the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) preform at the Roundhouse. This experience was cool on many fronts. One was I got to see the pinnacle of modern Shakespeare performance for only five pounds (restricted view, but not really!). The second is that the venue is a converted railway roundhouse where they stored train engines. The RSC actually built a mini-metallic Globe-like theatre inside the roundhouse that included the seats (amazing!). And I got to be a part of their running of all the history plays, which is quite a rare event (last done thirty years ago). The play was Henry IV, part 2. It is unfortunately sandwiched between two rather action packed plays in the series Henry IV, part 1 and Henry V (which is probably why I was able to get a seat at all... yes, Shakespeare venues sell out here...) but it still has the grand themes coarsing through it and in some ways is enjoyable for lack of a big battle scene... (again, my untrained opinion). Anyway, it was well worth 5 pounds...
