Happy After-Birthday Sweetie

Took gil_liant out to see 'A Midsummer's Night's Dream' for his birthday on Saturday. Thankfully, the theatre's air-conditioning was adequate. When I'd heard Arclight was planning to do 'MND' with a Mexican setting, I was pretty dubious, but the production was the -best- I've ever seen.

[Except for Puck, I tend to be rather apathetic about the faeries - and actively dislike Oberon, but WOW! the edge they gained from being ouzel was fantastic - and I loved the interpretation of Oberon.]

Dawn and I saw the same production on Friday. We couldn't go Saturday because of babysitting limitations. :^(

We enjoyed it as well, although... I was snickering a little at Oberon's costume. A picture can probably say why better then words could:

I got to be his body double for the painting of his costume. It was a bit wacky :-)
