Hay, it’s Shakespeare on Toast!
posted at 7:31pm, 14 May 09 by Alex [ 0 comments ]
So our preparations for the Hay Festival are gathering momentum, it will be all go this time next week!!
The Cafédirect Friends Cafe will be a hive of activity throughout the festival, we’re excited to announce that Ben Crystal, author of Shakespeare on Toast will be giving a sneak preview on Saturday 30th May of his talk in the cafe – I’m looking forward to being there, have to confess I’ve occasionally been bewildered by some Shakespeare – but Judi Dench says Ben’s book is ‘a brilliantly enjoyable, light-hearted look at Shakespeare which dispels the myths and makes him accessible to all’ and I’m not going to argue with her!!

Ben with Shakespeare and Toast
We’re announcing a competition to win tickets for Ben Crystal’s official talk on Sunday 31st May, to our Friends in tomorrow’s newsletter – if you’re not yet a member, you can sign up here
