Romeo y Julieta

Just got back from a Nuevo Ballet Español production of the old story told using Andalucian flamenco. It was a school trip and Jess, Beth and I went in a party of thirty. Wonderful theatre in Alicante. The production was a bit like River Dance but with some great Spanish guitar, a great deal more stamping (is that possible?) and some tricky castanet work. Flamenco singing may not be to everyone's taste but it was very expressive and the whole experience was a real treat after all the boring firework displays we've had to put up with over the past five days. Ho, hum....What have you all been doing?
