Just playing around with some ideas for a story. I’ve been asked to do a story about Shakespeare so I am at the thinking stage. I was thinking about setting it with a young  up and coming Shakespeare in London with him suffering with writer’s block. I was going to get him meeting one or two  “characters” that eventually are written into a play possibly Midsummer’s Night’s Dream. So I am looking for a way that stimulates his writing. I will try to start putting down these ideas on paper over the next few days. I have till June! Quite looking forward to the task to see if I can make a decent fist of a story for telling!

Off next week to do a week’s course specifically on the physical aspects of performance with Ben Haggarty. I’m really looking forward to this.
