Things to do this weekend: 3-5 April
By now, we’re bedding into our new home-centric routines. The shock of losing our freedom and the wealth possibilities that came with it has faded into a quiet sense of determination to make the best of our downtime and tend to the tasks we usually have little time for: spring cleaning, gardening – you name it. This, of course, comes coupled with a desire to look after ourselves, from nourishing our bodies to keeping them fit and cladding them in clothing that feels as good as it looks. With this in mind, here are some ideas for how to spend your third weekend at home…
With over 130 filmed productions, the Globe Theatre's new on-demand-video service means there's more than enough Shakespeare to see us through theatre closures and quarantine measures. Relive Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry's star turns in Twelfth Night, get up close to Jonathan Pryce as Shylock in Twelfth Night or watch Michelle Terry playing the tragic prince in Hamlet. With a wealth of talented actors and an emphasis on the spirit and atmosphere of Shakespeare's text, the Globe productions bring the bard to you. It's especially valuable for parents trying to ignite a love of theatre and support children their Shakespeare set texts.
