Shakespeare in a garden

Went to see Much Ado in a garden in Liss - set up and run by friends of ours.  It was a joyous evening not even marred by torrential rain in the middle - conveniently at the interval - which delayed the second half.  It had Clare and I checking to see if it were raining in our gardens via Dark Sky.  We were their guests and we had dinner together in a local pub beforehand.  We were late arriving caught by trains on the level crossing but C had reserved us seats at the front so when C & G rushed in later still it was rather like the Queen arriving and the performance started immediately she sat down.  

Liss is such an odd village, strung out down lanes with no real centre but a set of mini roundabouts and the station. 

We stayed on to have a drink and chat with C & L and got home well after midnight. 

Btw this was taken in the dance before the show began - I wasn’t snapping during the performance.
