Went to a memorable outdoor Midsummer Night's Dream last night: memorable partly for the direction and staging, which set it in the sixties (all the songs set to classic tunes- worked very well, actually; bits of Puck's final speech go to Daydream Believer beautifully) and had lots of fairies hanging from tree branches, and partly from how much it rained in the second act. (The audience were mostly under a tree or bundled up in waterproofs, but the actors just got wet. Thisbe looked particularly bedraggled.)
It was fun, anyway, and the actors were great- I'll definitely try to catch Theatre of the Dales again.
