Jackie and I enjoyed a brilliant first anniversary. The undoubted highlight was an evening trip to the Watford Palace Theatre for a superb production of As You Like It. This is what theatres are built for and why actors act. I do hope that this is a commercial success for the theatre; it will be so sad if such a brilliant production proved not to be financially viable.

The Palace Theatre’s mission is to provide A Home For New Writing. The problem with Shakespeare is that he does set the bar rather high for mere mortal writers. But I shall try to visit the Palace Theatre more regularly - starting with Kafka’s Dick later in the spring.
