heart of London beim Lesen!
I thought I knew London. I grew up nearby and
lived there as a student. As it turns out,
though, I’m not such an expert. I discovered
this when I tried out five London tours for this

month’s travel feature. Whether it was popu-
lar sights, East End food, fashion or film, each tour, in its own way, took me to
the very heart of the city, taught me interesting facts and opened new vistas
on a familiar place. Join me on my journey of discovery. It begins on page 14.
William Shakespeare’s plays speak to people of every race and culture.
Romeo and Juliet explores the drama of young love, Hamlet confronts us with
mortality, and Macbeth looks at ambition and power. Nonetheless, the presen-
NEU
tation of the plays has often been heavy, without much of a fun factor. This
month, on the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, we look back to the
colourful, noisy and engaging presentation of plays during his lifetime and how
that spirit is being recaptured today. On pages 28–33, you can rediscover his
work and remind yourself of his brilliant use of language.
