A Sonnet For Anne - 25-7.04.12

Brilliant!!! 
The structure of it!  Perfect! 
Jo Hollingworth and Stephen Gillard.  Brilliant!!! 
Their make up.  Extreme! 
Their performances.  Hypnotic!  Linking the action so cleverly! 
The set.  Brilliant!!!  So simple and so effective! 
All the performances.  Brilliant!!!   And so many words to remember!  Amazing! 
And the writing.  David Owen Smith.  Brilliant!!!
Everything Brilliant!!! 
But most brilliant of all, Liz Lucas!  Mrs Shakespeare.   Narrow-minded, a snob, over-possessive, ordinary.  The woman next door.  A woman who loved her husband.  A portrait of a woman who loved her husband.  That simple.  That complicated.  So intricately portrayed.  And when Mrs Shakespeare cried, we cried with her. 
Brilliant!!!  Brilliant!!!   Brilliant!!!
