Macbeth! Macho man takes over kingdom, believes he's the Chosen One, makes terrible mistakes, gives not one damn about anyone else, is deeply paranoid, rages against the Deep State, and ends up being hated and abandoned by everyone. My kind of play!

Hmmmm. Maybe we should be cautious before accepting as fact Geoffrey Marsh's assertion that Shakespeare lived at "35 Great St Helen's". Marsh has spent a lot of time on this. That does not necessarily mean he's right...

There are few major statues of Shakespeare in London. The Westminster Abbey one has a mangled quotation from 'The Tempest' (NOT respectful!); Leicester Square's one is a bad copy of Westminster's, & there's a reclining 'shiny' statue in Southwark Cathedral. None are any good.

Finally, in 2019, only 403 years after his death, London will have a good statue of Shakespeare. It will be in Shoreditch, commemorating where the 1576 'The Theatre' stood. The new Shakespeare has both intelligence & watchfulness.

Judging by the trailer, the new Ben Elton/Kenneth Branagh film about William Shakespeare's last years might be pitched a little bit too broad for my tastes, a little bit too 'cartoony'. Even a tad too 'Upstart Crow'. Still a must-see though...
