I think this play might be one of the best pieces of writing in the history of writing. It’s absolutely awesome!
And…my cast is quite spectacular!
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
JENNY Cloth
This is the title of my new textile venture. Hand woven cloth, hand spun yarn (hand dyed too, often, using botanical dyes) and crochet work.

I started selling crochet work a couple of years ago, and during 2020, in lockdown, started selling hand woven shawls, blankets and scarves. I’m getting labels made to formally label it JENNY.

The Tempest
I’m directing for the first time – a play on Zoom and I chose The Tempest. The cast is spectacular, and includes 5 Suffolk based actors as well as actors in the USA and in Dublin. We’ve been rehearsing for a month but we’ll give one performance only, so don’t miss it!
Thursday 19th November at 19:30 GMT
Tickets are £10 per household via Ticketsource.

SHAKE Festival
I was invited to create a festival of Shakespeare at The Cut arts centre in Halesworth, last May in 2019. On October 26th, my first SHAKE Festival came to life, for two days, and included guest speakers such as Dame Harriet Walter and playwright Ian Kelly. We had film, we had workshops, dance, an art exhibition, lectures, talks – and a lot of fun. I had to cancel SHAKE 2020 due to CV-19, but hope to return it, in a new CV-safe outdoor venue, in early summer 2021! For more information, please see www.shakefestival.com

Insomniac
One of the loveliest things to do when you can’t sleep, is sketch. Sketching helps everything.
Alas Poor Yorick
I’m developing a new Shakespeare festival in association with The Cut Art’s centre in Halesworth, Suffolk. We’re calling it SHAKE! Here’s some of my artwork for it…”Alas Poor Yorick”, from a vintage book illustration. More details soon…

Meander pattern heavy linen bedspread
Work in progress…I’m using a lovely heavy linen unbleached yarn which is somehow delicious to handle. I’m copying this Greek stitch (without a pattern), which was inspired by the Mesopotamian river Meander. Often seen on architraving and friezes, it’s an ancient pattern which symbolises eternal life.
Jennifer Caron Hall
Google keeps confusing an American actress with me. It’s driving me a little insane.
In the interests of retaining my identity, I’m here posting 4 photos of myself Jennifer Caron Hall, also known as Jenny Hall, Jenny Caron Hall and Jenny Wilhide.
