Literally. Nothing.
4 February and TLFs had a date with Mr W Shakespeare and Much Ado About Nothing. Not TLF’s favourite play but it has a unique place in TLF’s heart as it’s the first Shakespeare TLF ever saw at the tender age of 6 or 7, which is more decades ago than TLF cares to remember. When dinosaurs ruled the earth, there were Benson & Hedges adverts in the programme and a seat in the stalls cost less than a tenner.
But with a degree of predictability, Covid hits the rehearsing cast and the play isn’t ready for its first night preview. What can you do?
Keep calm, and carry on with your trip to Stratford, so you can still have a meal with the Parentals and avoid your hotel room going to waste……that actually TLF hadn’t booked at all. Fortunately there was room at the inn. Otherwise there would most certainly have been a do about something.
