...Compleat Works is an actor's tour de force. Amblad, Burke and Green give virtuosity-level performances in this zany comedy. Amblad's rendition of Juliet's Italian nurse is worlds apart from his despondent teenager routine as Romeo.

Generations of French kings built their most beautiful chateaus in the temperate Loire Valley. It is home to some of France's most prestigious vineyards. The wetlands around the relatively shallow, meandering river and its tributaries provide a rich habitat for hundreds of species of birds and other animals; eel, trout and Atlantic salmon ply the waters...
