Summer is the time for an outdoor performance of Shakespeare but being England, one never knows what the weather will be like. After several days of heavy rain, including on the performance day, we had to forego the opportunity for an outdoor picnic beforehand. The rain had however stopped before the performance and we were able first to enjoy a pre-show drink under canvas, entertained by The Bards of Arden , who also featured prominently in the performance.
The venue was Hall Barn, Beaconsfield and the play was As You Like It, performed by the Chiltern Shakespeare Company (CSC) and Fourways Theatre Company. It was the 40th anniversary of a Shakespeare production by CSC, with their first also being As You Like It.
Did we like it ? Yes, we did.
