A Midsummer Night's Dream And All That Jazz
We love theatre. Especially Shakespeare. Hubby and I bought the dvd of A Midsummer Night's Dream in London, to commemorate our visit to the Globe last July.
Last night D17's school show of the same name opened, underneath our starry sky, complete with jazz band and *fever*...
Even though we sat in the front row, I wasn't close enough: I am still coveting a zoom lens.
Here are the fairies,
the entire cast,
and the famous Egeus, aka D17...The kids laughed and laughed when Thisbe popped his bosom (one of the balloons stuffed down his dress) during the sword fight.
The advertisement said:
One of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, combines love stories with quarrels, while dealing with relationship problems and the role of parents. Finally mercy triumphs over justice and the lover's celebrate by watching the local workmen perform, very badly, The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe. This well know comedy with a new twist is set in a 1950's New York jazz club, featuring the BC Jazz Band.
