So many of my "this is why I love theatre" moments have happened at the Globe. Tonight was another, with the brilliant bilingual (English & Welsh) production of Romeo & Juliet. The language is so rich & expressive - the whole experience was on another level.

It wouldn't be a Shakespeare week without a trip to The Globe, would it? Press night for Troilus and Cressida!

It's a bloodfest for the next round of #MindTheBard! I'm back at Hampstead Theatre and really intrigued to see what Max Webster has done with Titus Andronicus.

For today's edition of #MindTheBard, we explore the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's works and what goes into the creation of a new production. Plus nationality, nationalism, identity, genocide... They pack a lot in!

The first show of #MindTheBard 2025 is Hamlet at the Minerva Theatre in Chichester.
