Last summer, we enjoyed `Shakespeare with Strawberries` one lovely Sunday at the Tithebarn. Johnny Kennedy, Tithebarn member, tenor, and Shakespearean scholar has been asked by the BBC to interview Lenny Henry. Lenny took the role of Othello this spring, and was well reviewed. Thought you would like to watch out for this which goes out next week, Saturday 1st August at 9.00 p.m. on BBC 4. From Joan (Fazackerley)
