An excellent version of Romeo and Juliet is being performed by drama students from Sacred Heart High School, alongside three other schools, who will be performing different Shakespearean plays for the 10th anniversary of the largest UK youth drama festival, the Shakespeare School’s Festival. http://www.ssf.uk.com/

It is being held at Northern Stage Theatre in Newcastle.
http://www.northernstage.co.uk/northern-stage

Tickets are £7.00 for adults and £5.00 for concessions and are available from the Northern Stage Box office (0191 230 5151)

Mosses and liverworts are both abundant and diverse at this site. The epiphytes are particularly diverse and include several locally uncommon liverworts.

The site has not been well‐explored for bryophytes and we are likely to find new species. The diminutive oceanic liverwort Microlejeunea ulicina, or “fairy beads”, was found here for the first time in Northumberland as recently as 2006.

Bring lunch.

Beginners are very welcome.
