The first of two trips to our favourite theatre today, the Watermill Theatre at Bagnor just outside of Newbury. Today we were there to see a very modern adaption of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It was excellent, in fact I can't recall ever seeing anything here that was not brilliant. The stage and auditorium inside a converted Watermill is tiny, I think something like 150 seats, but the cast they get here are so creative you forget the stage is six feet away. As it's about an hour and a half away we make a day of it, stopping at the Hungerford Garden Centre, then lunch at the Watermill before the performance. We left home at 9.30 and got back at 7pm. Really lovely day in the April sunshine.
