Bard in the Park

In the summer months the City of Fredericton provides many cultural events, weather permitting and on 4 July along with our lovely friends Debbie and George we went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream. The play was held in Odell Park which is a very pretty park and a gift to the city from the one of its forefathers. The park provided an excellent setting.

We started off our adventure by having an early supper at a local Indian Restaurant where we were introduced to variety of never eaten food before but all very tasty.

The weather this day was very wet however, following supper, undaunted, we departed for the park. It continued to rain and after a delay the weather cleared sufficiently so the actors could do their thing in amongst the wooded forest.

Over the next 3 hours we were treated to a very professional play. We followed the actors as they played and ran through the forest. We avoided and jumped over muddy areas, fought off the largest mosquitoes and all managed to get a very wet bottom in the process. However, it was a great night and a real tribute to the actors for carrying this play off in such bad weather conditions.

Well until next time. Stay happy, safe and well.

Love Bev and Ross

  1. What a shame about the rain. Despite that, it sounds as though you had a memorable experience. We are now in South Dakota- lovely weather in between storms that we have managed to avoid so far. Trish & Murray
