Last night we enjoyed a performance of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the picuresque gardens of local Hazlebury Manor, with some friends. The put a production on every year, and there is the opportunity for a picnic beforehand - this year accompanied by Morris Dancing. Happily the rain held off, although none of us were sunburned!

I think this play is one of the most enjoyable, with lots of humour. The "play within the play" was particularly well done, and the opening scene was a cricket match in Corsham (I'm still trying to work out which of our local woods is the magical one.)
