Before beginning our next Shakespeare play, we had the opportunity to catch our local Shakespeare company's touring production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Our goal was to see as many Shakespeare productions on stage as possible during the year, whether we were studying them or not. We will be studying A Midsummer Night's Dream, but not until May. The touring production is unique. It is the play they take to schools to perform. Therefore, the whole play is put on by six cast members with minimal props. It was hilarity itself!!! Our group had front row seats and some of the cast actually interacted with us. Aly LOVED that. We all left the theater with aching jaws and sore stomachs from laughing so hard. It was the best play I have ever seen. :) I believe that many of the others felt the same. Aly has declared it to be her favorite play. It will certainly be hard to top this production!
