they shall be my East and West Indies, and I will trade to them both

Oh it's so easy to dwell on what might have been etc. I do it all the time but I know that I shouldn't really - I should concentrate on the present and future. It is hard sometimes though.
By the way. You must have read "Beowulf" yes? Just wanted yo ask as I love it to bits!!(;o)

And quite a good CD it is, too! Sadly, it's probably all I'll ever get to hear of their Edward II (I'm still holding out hope that they'll do a U.S. tour of Richard II).

(I've actually never seen Edward II in performance at all, except for the last hour or so of Derek Jarman's 1991 film version, which is very, very weird ( ... )

Perhaps they'll show it over here on PBS or something -- plenty of the Shakespeare plays that get broadcast on your side of the pond eventually make it to mine, after a while. I've promised myself that if PBS does air it I will so give them money next time they have a pledge drive...
