Every summer, loads of companies put on outdoor performances of Shakespeare (and other plays, but it does seem mainly Shakespeare). Encouraging you to bring picnics, and watch a play in the grounds of a castle, or forest etc.
We have three of them locally this summer, at Glastonbury Abbey, including one "promenade performance", of Romeo and Juliet. Are they recommended? Are there certain companies to watch out for?
Thanks

Here in Oxford we have lots of summer Shakespeare. Cambridge is the same.
I am directing Love's Labour's Lost in the lovely gardens of Trinity College, Oxford from 18 - 29 July (might as well get a plug in)

I was going to mention Oxford! Years ago I saw a performance of Midsummer Night's Dream in an Oxford quad (can't remember which) and it was fab. It was very funny, and because it was a quad we were really close. I remember Puck was all hotpants and suspenders and bowler hat, very Cabaret.

That sounds like the Globe touring production, might have been at the Bodleian Library?
