Shakespeare at The Quorn Grange

The Quorn Grange is a beautiful setting for an outdoor Shakespeare play. Unfortunately, it was predicted rain so we watched inside. However, inside was good too with a large function room. The many doors and swishing curtains added to the play.

I have been here before for a wedding. I certainly rate the service. There were plenty of staff on the bar in the interval and the staff were welcoming, friendly and quick.

The Little English Theatre Company

'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was entertaining, lively and romantic. There was a lot of humour in the additional quips and physical jokes, in keeping with the lack of stage directions in Shakespeare's plays. Puck was more energetic than a child after a sugar party. Wired and mischievous, Puck stole the floor. The doting lovers were beautiful and angelic. Humour came from body language, facial expressions and The actors doubled up to successfully change from fairies, to royalty and to actors. Bottom made a wonderful ass with natural but humorous scratching and sound effects. 
A fantastic production to search out and see.
