Exploring Stratford: Where Shakespeare's Story Comes Alive

Exploring Stratford: Where Shakespeare's Story Comes Alive.

William Shakespeare's Stratford-On-Avon is a wonderful day out, and Jean and Stuart spend the day there. Not their first visit, but the favourite Midlands tourist spot does draw you back. Its quiet streets, timber-framed houses, and the gentle flow of the Avon are more than picturesque. Stratford reminds Jean how much of Britain’s richness lay beyond the obvious landmarks. For Jean, Stratford it wasn’t just a stopover; it was a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with her actress roots before the sea called her again. Stuart stopped in Evesham and seen his BBC roots. But here, they both took a particular interest in the RSC theatre. Their daughter Laura, who won at the NTA's this same week with Gavin and Stacey, will hopefully be able to schedule to work in something at the theatre one day. Laura is about to start filming the second series of This City Is Ours in Liverpool. Jean plays in the fun areas of the theatre that are open to all, like the costume museum and the tower.
