Now that we have reached already July, I feel like introducing something summerish. How about some summer theatre? Seeing a play in a park, in a forest –well, outside in a fresh air anyway- is even a tradition to many, and I think it might be easier for also to not-so-heavy-users-of-culture to attend a summer theatre than to step in to a museum or a gallery for example.

I just went to see a Moliére play by theatre Vanemuine. The Imaginary Invalid suited well also in Estonian frames and was an enjoyable experience in many ways. The play took place in the park of the song festival museum in a very beautiful and natural surrounding –which allowed also surprises, like a cat fight under the auditorium in the middle of the play, to happen. At some point there were so many unexpected things happening in addition to the story itself that no one from the audience or the crew on the stage could stop laughing. Luckily laughter suites well in to a comedy!

In addition to Vanemuine summer theatre you could choose also for example Emajõe Suveteater in Tartu. I myself am already eagerly waiting for them to play Dracula in the ruins of the old minster in Toomemäe park. The place is perfect for a story as creepy as that! Dracula you get to see in August.
Just remember that the nature is also prepared to participate the play –have an umbrella or a jacket with you, or just enjoy the refreshment served by the experience with all of your senses!
