Doth the moon shine that night?
Feb. 12th, 2006 09:54 pmI saw Midsummer Night's Dream. OMG, it was So Good. Oberon was total eye-candy, Puck rocked and Drumknott (copyright TP) played the Master of the Revels! Granted, he also played one of the fairies, but it was so cool nevertheless. Decorations were really good too, fitted the scene perfectly. Hermia was a tad old, I thought, but she was really good. All feisty and spirited. They geared the whole thing towards humour rather than a love story and that was a splendid choice. Bottom just about killed the audience every time he appeared, so did Puck, but the absolute perfect moment happened when Oberon finishes his monologue and hears a commotion. Demetrius and Helena walk onto the stage, and Oberon, who is very tall and generally hard to miss (white hair, leather pants and a glittering chest) stands to the side, in their path, crosses his arms and announces, in a booming voice, "I am invisible".
My point being - if you happen to be in London, this is a show you don't want to miss.
Oh, and I finally discovered what's the deal with SouthWest trains. They are a part of a conspiracy designed to make me buy a car. Speaking of SWTrains. They inspired this little thing:
