And that's an order! Next Monday (tomorrow) and Tuesday on Sky Arts 2 they are showing the filmed performance at The Globe of Henry IV, parts I and II with the best Falstaff I have ever seen - Roger Allam. Seeing the real thing was, I think, the best two nights of my theatrical experience but this film of a live performance is damned near as good. This is as near as you will ever get to seeing Shakespeare performed the way Shakespeare himself would have seen it. If you haven't got Sky then send 'Rupe' some money - quick! - or ask a friend to record it for you.
In fact it is a Shakespeare week on Sky Arts 2 so there are several other goodies to be viewed.
