We went yesterday to Bard on the Beach - a Vancouver tradition consisting of Shakespeare plays put on all summer in large, all weather tents, on a beach. Hence the name.
We decided on The Comedy of Errors and it was all that you would expect: farce, slapstick and bawdy rude humour. We all had a great time!
The festival has a little shop attached which is open during intermission & we picked up a few things, under the guise of 'homeschooling resources'. Hugo got a deck of playing cards with Shakespearean insults on each card (that page, by the way, loads up with an audio file of someone reading the insults. You've been warned!) . For Amelia I picked up a few Elizabethan fashion paper doll books from Dover. For serious history study, you understand.
