I love Shakespeare. I think he's AWESOME! My dad hates that word, but I think it's apt! The Hollow Crown has given us some of the medieval historical plays; Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 and 2, and Henry V. Henry V is quite well known, but I don't the others get played so much. There's also been more plays done on Sky Arts, which I have recently discovered to be really good channels.
My mother is a rocker, and my father prefers classical, although he'd give Harrison Birtwhistle a wide birth! I'm in the middle and everywhere in between. My musical taste is eclectic. I love watching festival coverage, but I love watching something like the Proms. They don't televise everything but I am looking forward to Handel's Water Music being shown on BBC4 on August 4th, and before that, tomorrow (BBC 4), friday (BBC 4) and Saturday [BBC 2] (26-28th July) we have a Beethoven marathon with Daniel Barenboim conducting Symphonies 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which will be brilliant! I love Mozart too, so I'll always be happy if anything of his is played!
