I love Shakespear and I was lucky enough to play Oberon two years back (Brunel theatre workshop) Midsummer Nights Dream is one of my favourites. Best seen (imho) in the open air theatre in Regents Park. I am just back from rehearsels from The Purple Theatre Company ( a drama group I co-founded five years ago) and we are doing "Much Ado About Shakespeare" which is looseley based on the scottish play with other bits thrown in and set in a burger bar, the style is modern day but the language is cod shakespeare. we started reheasing in January and my friend who wrote it was most annoyed that an american film (Scotland PA) was released on Feb 11 with roughly the same idea.Cllr
