Brush up Your Shakespeare

"Brush up Your Shakespeare" is the advice with which the Rainbow Shakespeare Company and the Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra ended their concert in the Assembly Hall.

A great range of composers have been inspired by Shakespeare stories and there are too many to list. To give one example, the orchestra played works by Berlioz and Prokofiev which were inspired by Romeo and Juliet. These were followed by excellent performances on stage. The formula worked very well.

This was an inspired performance and entertained the audience hugely.

The idea we all went away with was that "If you can quote Othello, she'll think you a hell of a fellow."

It was great fun.
