On offer in Roberts Park, as part of Saltaire Festival, there was a performance of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. (In Act One, a group of tradespeople meet to discuss performing a play for Theseus' wedding.)
It was a lovely day: warm, sunny and breezy, so there was a good crowd gathered to watch. Further down the promenade, our local Morris side, Rainbow Morris, were dancing, again with a sizeable crowd watching - and several enthusiastic children joining in.
I might give Shakespeare a miss - we were dragged to outdoor performances in the Cambridge colleges when we were schoolchildren - but I'd be there for the Morris!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd definitely enjoy seeing Morris dancers! They seem all ages!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see something 'normal'. All events are cancelled here.
ReplyDeleteThe last couple of years they have not been active because of covid, but there is a Shakespeare in the park company here. I have not seen this play performed.
