Shakespeare's Home
We went up to Stratford-on-Avon Friday, and what a day it was. Friday became the day of Shakespeare: where he was born, where he's buried, his museum about his life. It was all great, but the best was definitely the play we saw. That was probably the best version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" I've ever seen onstage. Period. The Royal Shakespeare Company certainly knows how to put on a show. The actors were fantastic. The stage effects, were incredible, the fairy king and queen both flew. Of course they were were supported but they were so graceful, that the wires did not register with me. The fairies were cool and so were the mechanicals who put on "Pyramus and Thisbe." I'm sad that I'm going to be missing the summer shows such as "Hamlet" because they sound just as awesome. But the RSC plays are certainly a reason to come back to Stratford. It just a question on the when and how.
