If I’m honest, I felt a bit intimidated sitting down to write this review. I’m definitely not what you might consider to be an authority on this topic. However, our visit to the Liverpool Empire to see Glyndebourne on Tour was not at all intimidating or stuffy. I am so glad I stepped out of …
Now, I am a fan of Shakespeare, a student of his plays right up to my dissertation on his romantic texts. I did not expect to like this musical. Why mess with the original? Did they not understand the true meaning of the tragedy? What were they thinking turning it into a tween romantic comedy! …
A trip to the theatre is always a pleasure for me and the Empire staff have developed a quick, slick operation for checking tickets and passes pre-entry in these ongoing Covid-19 times.
