Adverts, competitions, seminars, useful stuff...  By Timothy Robey Available now! I have frequently enjoyed Timothy Robey's polished and cleverly-contrived verses which have long been a staple of the Mastermind Club's quarterly in-house magazine. Now he has turned his attention to Shakespeare, and has contrived to come up with a new and ingenious approach - a collection of verses devoted to the Bard's plays which is more than just an abbreviated summary of the plots, but is rather an elegantly-expressed comment on the character and motivation of the protagonists as well. John Betjeman himself could well be nodding in admiration from his Cornish resting-place.
