We made it. It was a long journey to the opening performances, and there is such a sense of relief all round.

On the 23rd of October we moved to Stratford, which would now be our homes until 10th March the following year. I rent a small Victorian cottage from the RSC which is a mere six minutes walk from the theatre.

Sorry it's been so long since my last blog! It is getting quite hectic now, as is normal in rehearsals as more new ideas are thrown about and more roles are being cast.

Shakespeare's Birthday. We don't really know if it was the 23rd of April, so it might as well have been the 21st when we celebrated it on the streets of Stratford.

In The Comedy of Errors I play the Messenger, who crashes into Act V with some very bad news. He has just witnessed Antipholus of Ephesus (played by Stephen Hagan) in a state of madness.

Greg employs a much-used RSC device. We are each asked to pick some aspect of 16th and 17th historical life and events that are relevant to the production.

David Fielder (Nations at War company) had a few of us to dinner on Sunday night. Rack of lamb, perfectly pink. We all agreed how lucky we were to have the excellent Barry the Butcher within close shopping distance. It seems everybody gets almost as much pleasure from their cheer as from their chops.

Greg has arranged a tour of St Paul's Cathedral for us. We are met by the canon chancellor Giles Fraser, a warm open-faced, balding man, fizzing with energy and the exact opposite to the kind of modern cleric I had expected to meet.
