Wonderful Shakespeare Bday celebrations in Stratford yesterday. 400 years plus after his death his legacy lives on. And what a cake! Shakespeare appeared outside his Birthplace in Henley Street, with his eldest daughter Susanna. Here with my daughter Zaynab 400 years after!

What a story, A Thousand Splendid Suns, transformed into a brilliant play. Such a moving experience and reminded me of the power of storytelling to stir your emotions. If you can would encourage you to pop down to The Birmingham Rep and book yourself a seat!

Great entertainment at The Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford last night, with the retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy #muchadoaboutnothing taking on world football themes. Although written in the late 1500s, the themes still resonate today and particularly to a younger audience. Bravo!
