Jeez.

Remember the worst play ever? Well, it has been superseded. Heaven knows why I stayed till the end of this one; it wasn't even very photogenic. The cellist was accompanying a ranty actor declaiming extracts from a justifiably little-known essay about Shakespeare by Victor Hugo. For an hour and a half. There's an extract here if you can bear it; see also the extra. I nearly always enjoy the musical events in our summer programme, but whoever picks the plays should be fired.
