A Midsummer Night's Dream


Friday (22 Jun 07) - We got some last minute tickets to see Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park. One of my favourite Shakespeare plays.

At the Open Air Theatre bar.

Opening scene - spot the audience with umbrellas and raincoats. Luckily, the rain stopped after five minutes into the play.
My favourite scene - when a group of labourers performed a crude play titled "Pyramus and Thisbe" for the Duke's wedding celebrations. It was the most comical scene, the audience just couldn't stop laughing! (characters from left to right: the lion, the moon, Thisbe, the wall, Pyramus and the narrator).
When the lovers were reunited.

At the end of the play.
