This weekend I went back to
Warwickshire, where I grew up, for a
friend’s birthday and we decided to
stay over in Stratford. I’d never visited
Stratford as a tourist as it’s a town
where I spent so much time in my
early teens, so this trip was like looking
at the place from a new angle...
The Royal Shakespeare Theatre had
also played a massive part in my
childhood and it formed my enduring
love for the theatre. When I was 13 I
had played ‘Cobweb’ in ‘A Midsummer
Night’s Dream’ with The RSC and it
basically changed my life...it was that
point which made me committed to
the theatre and move in a certain
direction and end up training at RADA.
I hadn’t visited the the theatre for
years...I don’t even know why; maybe
something to do with not wanting my
memories altered or maybe just that
when I’m down there I’m there to visit
my mum...whatever the reason, it was
a wonderful revisiting of the Art Deco
part of the theatre designed by
Elizabeth Scott, built in 1932, and
thankfully it felt like it had maintained
the essence of how I remembered it...
So here are some visual meanderings
from the weekend...
