On the 1st July, as is custom at Gresham's School, we were treated to a night of frivolous theatre in the atmospheric Theatre in the Woods - a stage that WH Auden himself performed on in his day. Thankfully the sky stayed clear and, despite the odd mosquito bite, the evening could not have been better.
The abandoned legs at the left hand side were left from an extremely tongue-in-cheek extract from The Wizard of Oz, and due to the fast-paced scene changes didn't quite make their way off stage.
The ladies 'manned up' for a gutsy song in which they satirized the crotch driven mindset that men approach women with!
Making use of the beautiful, natural scenery in the Theatre in the Woods...
Julias Ceaser, Lady Macbeth, Ofelia and Richard iii sit down for supper in panto-like fashion!
Yet more of the delightfully mocking Wizard of Oz, complete with a Toto on a stick.
....And my favourite: the most over the top, self indulgent (for comic effect, of course!) and humourously earnest discussion between Hamlet and Yoric!
Over all, a fun filled evening that left my tummy aching from laughter.
