English Ludlow Festival


Peter Green reports from Shropshire's "little gem" of Ludlow where preparations are underway for the market town's annual arts festival. There are Shakespearian rehearsals underway in the shadow of the thousand year old castle. Actors Kate O'Mara (a couple of years before she was set adrift in the BBC's North Sea ferry drama 'Triangle') and Henry Knowles enthuse about the magic that an open air performance can bring to the Taming of the Shrew.
