On Sunday July 24th the Oddsocks
Theatre Company returned to the arboretum to treat us to a performance of
Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ After a fine couple of weeks, the
weather turned cool so everyone had to wrap up to enjoy their picnics. Hot
coffee was more appreciated than chilled champagne. The temperature built up as we enjoyed
the talented and enthusiastic performance. The dialogue was witty, the adlibs
appropriate and the audience participated accordingly. All in all, a superb evening. |
