Talents abound

Richard II
Great drama and talents were abroad this week, from the national to the local.  Live from the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford and beamed into the Majestic cinema in Bridgnorth came Shakespeare's Richard II, with David Tennant in the title role.  A powerful tale of kingship, and fickle friendships; people who lead and those who follow; people who change sides when fortune begins to favour the opposition.  Plus ca change.

Reduce, Render and Sweat by David Summers
Bridgnorth Players' Autumn offering, served up with gusto.  An interesting enough plot, if a bit preachy, with a fine twist at the end and everybody happy. It was well received by audiences, which grew from the first weekend to a sell-out on the final night at Bridgnorth Community Hall.  Well done cast, director Geoff Speechly, producer Liz Fisher and the production team.

Oldbury Has Talent
It certainly has.  St Nicholas church was the venue for both an exhibition of local arts and crafts and a concert.  The youngest performers were 10 and the oldest a good few decades older and all excelled in their singing, playing and reciting .

A truly uplifting week.Thank you everyone for sharing your skills.
