Last Wednesday saw the birth of what is sure to become a new Cuth’s tradition: The Shakespeare Formal. Marking the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, the dress code was strictly Shakespearean, whilst the menu had an Elizabethan twist, along with the entertainment: the Choir sang two pieces of Shakespeare’s writing that have since been put to music, and our Writer in Residence, Paul Batchelor, gave a dramatic reading of a favourite Shakespearean passage. The cherry on top of the cake came in the form of a song performed by SCR members from the English Department, led by Dr Patrick Gray, who gave their own Durham rendition of ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’. Those of you who weren’t lucky enough to experience this first-hand can view it here (many of you who were present will no doubt desire to see it again!): youtu.be/G0zsrdu6dLc
