willy on the common.
Tonight I went to Shakespeare on the Common and I definitely recommend it to all. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is not at all one of my favorites by William, but the company did a really good job of it and I had fun watching. They made it quite funny and entertaining. Totally could have done without all the dancing and singing and general weirdness, but whatever. It was almost like they said “Hey, Cirque du Soleil is kind of in style right now…let’s go with that,” which was odd, but whatever. It was friends, free Shakespeare, picnics, and mini-bottles of wine (thank you, Heather!)
I just think it’s pretty cool that the Common can be jam-pack filled with people who want to watch a Shakespeare play. Makes me kind of happy. It was also fabulous to see some of my favorite people from UNH whom I don’t see nearly enough. My UNHers combined with my friend’s teacher friends made for some hardcore English nerdiness. I don’t think I’ve ever been around so many people who were either done or in the process of reading Harry Potter (I’m done, thank you very much). Anyway, you should go see the show. But get there early if you want any chance of seeing the stage.
Saturday is Shakespeare Day on the Common. Not really sure what that means, but it kind of scares me.
