be do be doobie..               *

I have ranted before about the exploitation of collectors, be it of stamps, coins, used tea bags, whatever.  The issuing bodies are milking it dry these days.  I was about to launch into this one again tonight, when I came home to another advice note for new stamps here in the UK.   But, I looked over the detail first.

The set features former Dr Who David Tennant as Hamlet, Antony Sher plays Prospero, Chuk Iwuji plays Henry VI, Paul Schofield as Lear, Sara Kestelman plays the fairy queen Titania, Ian McKellen and Francesca Annis play the doomed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.

I’m so glad I have these on order already, since I could not have resisted this celebration of the RSC – and it’s issued on a rather special, poignant day….
