Every year there is a Summer Shakespeare Festival where, for a few months, people can see open-air productions. In fact, this is the 11th year of the festival with performances in Brno,
Prague,
Ostrava and Olšany.
Unfortunately, my Czech isn't anywhere near the point where I could attempt to attend a show. Shakespeare can be difficult enough without having to figure it out in Czech.
The good news is that this year there were productions in English too!
Woo-Hoo!!!

The
GB Theatre Company came from England and put on two different performances at Brno's
Old Town Hall. On Monday, I went with Claudia and some other IBMers to see
The Merry Wives of Windsor. I had never heard of this play before but who cares? I was just happy to go watch something in English.
It was a really good comdey!! Very funny and the entire cast was awesome.

They even had a couple of ringers. Former
Hollyoaks star Matt Milburn and BBC 1’s
My Family star Gabriel Thomson were in the show as well. Not a bad way to spend a Monday evening.
On Tuesday evening they performed
As You Like It. I missed that one because I had Czech class. But who knows? If I stick at my lessons then maybe next year I can try one of the Czech performances.
