Culture Week!

I just attended As you like it, by Shakespeare. It was good, and the acting was acceptable for an amateur company. I enjoyed myself, and it was nice to see the older, more experienced players work their magic, and at the same time allow the younger ones to shine. Here is a portion of a BBC rendition!
