Hello world!

Having spent the last three years on a degree comprising almost entirely of reading and writing, it came as a shock to the system when I finished my last exam and realised that I no longer had to read or write anything at all. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been rediscovering the joys of reading for pleasure (without feeling guilty that I should instead be reading about eighteenth-century Venice or the legacy of Manzoni’s Adelchi!). While I really enjoyed my degree, I was ready for a break from studying.

Now that I’ve started reading for pleasure I thought I’d give writing for pleasure a go, and hopefully this blog will be a good place for me to share my thoughts on theatre, culture and whatever else I can think of to write about!
