A Midsummer Night's Dream at Tolethorpe, Stamford.

This is a play I studied when I was eleven and it's one I remember pretty well. Sure, Leonie had reminded me of the "wild thyme" speech - she was learning it by heart with her kids, and involved me.

The play is ideal for an outdoor setting, and the Tolethorpe stage , with its back drop of trees, and its imaginative use of lighting and height was just the job.  Romance, comedy, fantasy, fairies, magic potions, a jealous Oberon and a careless Puck all add to the magic.  Very neatly set off by the workmen's acting of Pyramus and Thisbe.

Very entertaining.
