outdoor Shakespearean fun

Hey, Oxford people. I have managed to persuade Daily Info that they want me to review things for them, and as a result I have two tickets for Henry V tomorrow evening at Worcester College Gardens. It starts at half past seven. Anyone want the other one? First to shout gets it.

(It's Buskins Theatre Company, if you've heard of them. I haven't)

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'

By which I mean to say, it's in many ways a really disappointing play (all the most interesting character stuff happens in the first parts of the trilogy, and the tacked-on final act is just silly), but by golly does it have some great speeches...

Excellent! It's been a long time.

Food would indeed be nice, though I'd prefer cheapish. A pub maybe?
