This week's Town Braintap talk is for anyone with a fondness for the written word. No papers. No tests. No pressure. Just pull up a comfortable chair and hear Tom Blachly’s autobiographical tale of his bone-deep love for Shakespeare's work and its dramatic, curative effects on his life. He'll also talk about the Bard's enduring impact on art, language and the powers of human reason. Hark, then. Still a few spaces open for this event if thou feel’st a sudden desire to go:
