Dream in High Park

Even though I’ve lived right next door to High Park for about 15 years, I’ve never been to Canstage’s annual “Dream in High Park” – our nightly Shakespeare in the Park theatre. And after seeing A Midsummer Night’s Dream – the company’s 25th anniversary production – last night, I’m struggling to understand whatever possessed me to pass on this marvellous Toronto experience these many years. Run – don’t walk – to the next production (Tuesday to Sunday, 8 pm, until September 2) – it is absolutely delightful. Sit on the grass, have a picnic, and enjoy the hard work of a wonderfully talented group. The writing’s not half-bad, too.
