Shakespeare!

On Friday night, Peter and I packed up our picnic blanket, rugged up the baby, grabbed some pillows, jumpers and blankets and headed to Queens Park.

Each year, our uni puts on a Shakespeare Festival, and this year they played "The Tempest".

We arrived at the park at 6pm, settled onto our rug - close to the front, bought ourselves some dinner and waited for the show to start. It was fantastic!!! I haven't been to a play since I finished school, and I had almost forgotten how fun live theatre is.

The play was REALLY good. The (3rd year) students did a fabulous job, the costumes were amazing and the set was beautiful.

It was a lovely date night, and Mayana was a perfect angel the whole time. She was so enthralled by the lights and noise, she was watching the stage and following the actors, she was very alert.

Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take photos of it for copyright reasons, but if you go here you can have a look at the official photos. I can't believe we've never gone to this thing before! We'll definitely be back for another go next year...

Waiting for the show to start..
