In flight
Before I fly out to Ghana with Care, the aid agency I have been involved with for some time, I go to Michael Boyd’s Royal Shakespeare Company productions of Henry VI Parts 1, 2 and 3 and Richard III at the Young Vic. I sit spellbound for 13 hours, only once remembering the slipped disc, which has turned me into a health bore of epic proportions.
When Gavin Marshall, who plays numerous roles, flies down a rope I think: “I can’t do that now”, as if I’d ever been able to – proper theatre makes you feel you can fly.
I read the five-star reviews on the plane from Gatwick, then Accra opens up like an oven and in we go.
