Just a quick mention of two really good articles I read today on the BBC website that I felt I should share with you. The first is the BBCs Arts Editor Will Gompertz commentary on the closing of Enron on Broadway, a sad day indeed for British straight plays going to the USA, and the differences between New York and the West End and how they work together. So please follow this link.
The other is an article on how the media portrays the exit of Politicians from public office referencing last weeks resignation by former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Simon Schama writes about how Shakespeare would enjoy writing scenes like those witnessed in the News last week and how through the years different satirists have also commented on the Media frenzy. You can read this article here.
