The Saga of Hot Summer continues in New York City, and I'm getting about as tired of telling it as I imagine you are of reading it. We're under yet another days-long Heat Advisory, temps up in the low 90s (around 33 degrees, for you C folk). It is, like all summers these days, the hottest summer there's ever been, and it feels like it.
Our first weekend of A Midsummer Night's Dream out in the Community Garden on the Upper West Side went well! The weather was hot but not stifling, and the audiences liked us almost as much as the mosquitoes and other bitey bugs did. The rain and heat outlook for this weekend is uncertain, but if we can perform safely we will. Right now the forecasts say we should expect rain and thunderstorms tonight (Saturday, as I write) to go with our Heat Advisory (Heat Index up around 100, or 37.7 C-degrees) and our Air Quality alert. But we're still hoping it works out.
This is an old key, recently revealed. It should be good, but these days who knows. If you have any trouble with it, please let me know. Enjoy!
Hi there, just letting you know the key worked fine and thanks for the giveaway! Hope you get some relief from the heat soon, I've heard that all the building in NY can make heat feel much worse than it shows on a thermometer, don't want to rub salt in it but it's currently 14C here moving to a top of 18C, to be honest I much prefer this kind of weather to the sort of summers we regularly get here (often a week of +35C capped off by 1 or 2 days of 40C+, the allure of summer wears off very quickly).
Hope your performance goes well and is well attended, Midsummer is one of my fave Shakespeare plays, it's so whimsical and sweet natured, been so long since I saw a performance of it.
