Have you ever watched a play where you see smoke coming out of characters’ mouths? I did! Today!
I caught Shakespeare’s (the Bard’s) Romeo & Juliet at Bard on the Beach (an annual festival kinda thing, only in the summer) today! Yes, it was a very good production, but I think the most common words that came out of the audience’s mouths right after the show weren’t “that was brilliant”, but rather, “it’s soooooooo cold!!!”


Romeo & Juliet was performed on the main stage, which, along with all the other stages in their tents, were an open concept, so the back of the stage is uncovered. Thanks to the rain and direct sea breeze, the audience was freezing.


I believe this was the backdrop?

The main stage (centre of stage is where the famous balcony scene is)
