This month the lovely Emma at Book Angel Booktopia has been running Classics Carnival, focusing on classic literature, and the adaptations and re-tellings of these stories. There have been some brilliant guest posts, lots of interesting reviews and a few bits of exciting bookish news throughout the month – you can find them all here.

Today it’s been my turn to contribute. I’ve written about live performances of the classics, so please head over to read what I’ve had to say.
