Yesterday after a three-hour session with the co-research team at Lincoln University I travelled home and then a quick turn around before heading down to Peterborough to meet up with Mary after work.

We had a delightful early Thai dinner at <a href="http://www.east-restaurant.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">East</a> set on the river Nene before walking to the Key Theatre to watch a live screening of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/mar/21/macbeth-review-christopher-eccleston-royal-shakespeare-theatre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Macbeth from RSC Stratford</a>. It was the first time I had seen an RSC produced Shakespeare play via a live broadcast. In the past I've either been to Stratford or The Barbican in London. When watching a live performance you choose what to watch on stage but in a broadcast the producer decides what to focus on so it was a strange experience for me - cheaper but not as immersive as the three-dimensional event. Nonetheless, it was an excellent production and well worth the journey to Peterborough.
