A Midsummer Night's Dream
Jul. 3rd, 2003 11:44 amI went to the Publick Theatre's [1] production of A Midsummer Night's Dream last night. As Queue noted, it was a somewhat breezy evening, which played havoc with the men's skirts.
[1] The Publick Theatre is an outdoor theatre off Soldier's Field Road, along the banks of the Charles. Note to self: bug spray (or Skin So Soft, or some anti-bug concoction) would not be a bad idea for the next show.
( possibly spoilers, though I assume everyone knows the plot already.... )
The show was preceded with an intro by Diego Arciniegas, the head of the company, pointing out how arts funding has been slashed this year, despite how the Democratic National Committee chose Boston for its convention partly because it has so many small arts groups. There was also a presentation by the head of the local Charles River conservation group, which is also looking for volunteers.
PS for pass-holders: they punched the pass next to the title of the play. So one performance for each, after all.
