Open air theatre in London parks

It has been a tradition in London for decades for friends to meet up after work and take a picnic to the park, to lounge around drinking wine.  The British find any excuse to make the best of good weather, long evenings and a chance to dine al fresco albeit on the grass. Anyone who has visited France will know that even stepping on the grass in public parks can be ” interdit” and  in my own personal experience even sitting on the grass  in the grounds of  private apartment blocks in Paris.

Going to the theatre in parks in London is a unique experience with a choice of Holland Park, Embankment Gardens and Regents Park. To benefit from most Shakespearean plays some knowledge of  the plot or story line is a definite advantage yet a musical play presents quite a different proposition where the liquid refreshment could stimulate the mind as opposed to  sending you to sleep in the second act.

I thought that ” Crazy for You” playing at the Open Air Theatre, Regent’s Park could be a good choice,  a revival of  the Gershwin  Musical.  Other plays with reviews can be accessed through the following
