Amazing, wonderful, inspired, gorgeous, ingenious…
..and that was just the company (Holl and Belle xx). Seriously though folks, it was absolutely fabulous and I loved every moment. David was amazing and gave a fantastic portrayal of his character Berowne, and his performance was complimented by a brilliant cast who were all equally charming and exuberant.
The set was simple yet perfect, the costumes elaborate Elizabethan affairs that made the ladies look stunningly beautiful and the men leggy and, well, kind of fit, (although when Miss M glanced at this post she did ask what that lady was doing in her blue dress, cough.) and the staging full of energy and life.
Oh, and wonderfully a bystander was able to capture the moment David spotted Holl, Belle and me in the audience and could barely contain his excitement as he flung his arms wide, ran towards us and pulled us all into a manly embrace.
And some of what I have written above might be a lie.

Life is a great big fantastic dream, and I’ll believe that he embraced you tenderly and kissed you right on the mouth with sheer joy.

He looks pretty scrummy. When he threw his arms round you, did he say (I expect he did) “You’re the one with that blogging pal who has a friend who I was at Primary School with in Paisley, aren’t you?”. Thought so.

I have to ask if Holly “embraced” you for me, but that’s not what she was supposed to do.
Glad you guys had fun! Where’s the pictures?

Boisterous Butterfly, hurray, he did he did, hee hee.
Iota, he did that too. Sighhh. And he used his gorgeous accent. Do you talk like that? I always said if Mr B had a Scottish accent he’d be perfect, I love it.
Sandi, scrummy means scrumptious and tasty and yum. ;D
Mya, I think we swooned several times. In fact I’m swooning now just thinking about it. Swoon. And lone toileting is a dream. ;D
Sybil there was much embracing thank you hon. And I just realised we took pictures of Stratford but not actually of each other, Next time we will.
Akela I’m glad. You make me snort too.
Cami, ach 3 tear olds, what do they know about men. He is definitely all man. Have you watched Casanova yet?
Lovely Jen it really was. And we all agreed you’d be one of the number of ladies we’d have loved to share it with.

He’d make a rather good Robin Hood, wouldn’t he (speaking of men in tights)? It must be time for a remake of that one.
