1950  The BBC transmitted the first live tv across the Channel

What to do last night was pack a picnic, drive into the middle of Rendlesham Forest, eat the picnic and then watch Hamlet in the fading light.  For this show Red Rose Chain was seven pros and some eight or so

young hopefuls and the young hopefuls were outstanding!  Hamlet may be a tragedy but RRC managed to get plenty of laughs out of it and we loved the ghost.  The production looks great, the costumes having an intriguingly understated consistency and the slowly going daylight some how linked to the progression of the play.

The venue has everything; bar, posh coffee, loads of loos but no apparent dressing room so the cast sort of  mingle ... sometimes seemingly in character.  As we drove into the car park two thesps waved at us in manner that screamed Hail my fair Lord Petruchio, how goes most saucy Worcester?
