Tonight was a night walk with a twist. I had been waiting patiently for Manawatū Summer Shakespeare. On our walks I have been watching as their team slowly set up shop down by the river. Each time there was a little more prop and intrigue.
Tonight we headed down. It was suggested that we park at the Esplanade train station and there would be a guide to lead us down to the theatre. Through a little hole in the bushes we wend our way down through the bushes, ducking under a branch or too until we found ourselves in an enchanted forest complete with giggling fairies, fairy lights, swings, and fairy folk music. We settled in around the camp fire and waited for the night show to begin. The show was fantastic. Wonderful, animated actors, audience interaction, hilarious fun and thoughtful sets and stage. The campfire was even lit as darkness fell and kept going as part of the story. Just brilliant. 100% recommend! By the end it was very dark and the wander back up to the car was a little more difficult on the unfamiliar pathway... But it was an extremely fun night time adventure!

Thank you so much for coming to watch A Midsummer Nights dream! I played Puck and had such an amazing time with the whole cast and each audience that came to watch.
