What: Henry IV Part 1 by William Shakespeare
Where: The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
When: April 24th 2014
The Royal Shakespeare Company are publicising Henry IV Parts 1 & 2 as Shakespeare’s finest two plays. I can’t say I agree. Such a claim would make King Lear & Macbeth blush. However, they may well be the point where Shakespeare’s three stylistic modes best meet.
I’m not really planning on daily updates in this column but the Yankees are going through quite a few changes at the moment.
It’s funny how things work out. The last day of Yankees’ Spring Training schedule – a game against the Miami Marlins – was rained out.
(up to and including March 29)
During Spring Training, the Yankees pitchers went beyond expectations and (in some cases) lived up to the hype, leaving them looking well set for the new season. Here are those who have made the roster:
(up to and including 28th March)
The Yankees have had a good spring training, carrying a 17-12 record into the last few days before the regular season started. In fact, because of the strong performances many of the roster issues sorted themselves and there were few injury concerns to require the roster to be patched.
Here’s a survey of the players who made it through and how they performed in the springtime:
In February, I performed at Ravenscourt Arts Theatre in an event called “A Gospel Night”. Also on the bill were Dimitri McIntosh, Mick Chwedziak and the Ravenscourt Arts Choir.
The Yankees had a busy month in January and they managed to fill most of the most obvious gaps on their roster.
Thank you to everyone who visits and supports this site. We now get more visitors per day than ever before. We get twice as many visitors per day just reading old stuff as we used to get on the old site on a day when a new article went up.
So a couple of weeks into the New Year, what seems to be likely to appear here in 2014 and what else will I be involved in?
And then to the fourth and final part of this survey with our overview of the men who might take the mound for the Yankees in 2014. Again, some old favourites, some trying to enhance their reputation and some new arrivals………
