Shakespeare

My dear Friends

It was a beautiful balmy evening, a few clouds in the sky but mainly blue patches. The perfect evening to view a Shakespeare play in the garden of one of the colleges, on this occasion Downing.The audience was quite full with people sitting on the grass in front of the 'stage.' Many had brought bottles of wine and things to eat; I had brought an umbrella and a blanket!

The play was one of his less popular ones Love's Labours Lost, a romantic comedy in which a group of men decide to be abstemious and not woo any ladies for 2 years. But temptation proves to get in the way and all kind of romantic entanglements ensue-typical Shakespeare.

The action was fast moving and the acting brilliant, with the garden proving the perfect setting for this delightful play. There was a lot of humour in the production too.

In the interval mulled wine was served and we chatted-a perfect night!
