Bye bye 2020.

And so this is Christmas

and what have we done?

Another year over.

 

One of the best things about my 2020 (it’s a short list) is that I’ve managed to start volunteering, in a kitchen for a charity in Cardiff. Beyond my millennial propensity for virtue signalling, I mention this because it really has felt like a shot in the arm in a year in which our industry has been paralysed and purpose and meaning have not been the easiest things to keep a grip…

And there was almost certainly a woman providing the sustenance, housekeeping and encouragement while he settled in to write another play about a king.
