Roger Allam interprets Prospero superbly; there are beautifully wise moments of detachment and observation about the character as he regards himself playing a role and reflecting on life on the island; it fits with the whole 'Shakespeare writing his last-play' theme. I fully recommend you see it, especially while standing in the pit as a stinkpot groundling. Getting wet by a squeezed out cod piece is only part of the fun.
From there, a slow walk along the river with the kids, Thames-bank combing, hoping to find a Roman coin or two.

Because I'm on Facebook, and closely connected to Americans, I feel that I've celebrated Independence Day myself. I think I got an overdose of it. I can't see another fireworks or American flag.
You do analyze a performance of a Shakespeare play well.
we should have waved flags for them, Irene, but they were on English soil, so it was time to get our own back. ;)
