DARLING, YOU WERE MARVELLOUS

摘要

There are few places so synonymous with one individual or event that it becomes virtually impossible for popular culture to separate one from the other. Dallas has the assassination of President Kennedy, Bethlehem has Jesus Christ and Stratford-upon-Avon has William Shakespeare. Inevitably, the birthplace of the world's greatest playwright is in thrall to his legacy and he remains at the core of the town's entire cultural and economic infrastructure. Perhaps the most visible example of this is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), whose spiritual home is its theatre in the centre of town.
