Day 7 of the #DettiestDecember: #TheatreTuesday I was elated knowing that I was going to see Queen Moremi The Musical. As someone who is from Ile-Ife, the story of the brave heroine who sacrificed her one and only child/son to save the the people of our land is one I've heard many times. I got to grab a selfie with @_segundada who not only played the role of Moremi's husband but is also a star on the hit @mtvshuga series. #Celebrity. #MTVShuga #QMW #QueenMoremitheMusical . Now here's where the problems were. Show was meant to start at 7 and at 7:20, not only were the doors to the theatre closed but I was still arguing with the ticket checker who was telling me that the person who will verify my online tickets from the third party website isn't around. After much hassle, we were seated at 7:45pm. A saxophonist had been playing for approximately 5-7 mins and was rudly interrupted by loud trumpets an drums. Apparently the the delay in the start of the show was because the Ooni (King of Ife) had not yet arrived and this was the royal band announcing his arrival. At this point I'm irritated and disappointed. First of all, the Queen of England would not be late (I don't care about Lagos traffic) and even if she was, the show would go on without her. Like that wasn't enough, every time someone came in and wanted to greet the king (even up until 9:30pm) they would walk right down the aisle and stand in front of him blocking the view of the audience. . Lagosians/Nigerians believe that they are posh and on a different level of the social spectrum yet they cannot compose themselves and behave the way they do when they are abroad. If we want to be regarded like prestigious and upstanding individuals, we should act as so. Whether or not he is royalty, have respect for the actors, stage crew and musicians who have put their blood, sweat and tears into creating the beautiful piece you are all gathered for. #ContinentalHotel #Lagos #Theatre (at Lagos Continental Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ijNEIlloo/?igshid=wt1z5srj7aye

Bard on the Beach 2014 by Sam Hauck posted on My VanCity

Bard on the Beach 2014

  This is the 25th season for Bard on the Beach.  Anyone who has attended a play there knows what a marvelous venue it is.  This year’s offerings, which include A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, Equivocation and Cymbeline, run from June 11 until September 20th.

  The back of the main stage is open and offers a view of the water, English Bay and Stanley Park, and the North Shore Mountains in the distance.  Waiting for the play to begin, it is easy to be distracted by the variety of watercraft moving back and forth: kayaks, paddleboards, sailboats, powerboats, water taxis, paddle wheelers and yachts, but when the lights go down, be sure to focus on the stage as the opening act sets out the premise of the story and you don’t want to miss a minute of it.

  The Tempest

Like all of Shakespeare’s works, this story is filled with plot twists, turns and surprises. It is a testament to its intrigue that we continue to enthralled by these stories written over four hundred years ago.

  Here is the brief synopsis of the play as outlined in the company’s brochure:

Prospero, a magician and exiled Duke, is stranded on an enchanted island with his daughter Miranda, the spirit Ariel, and the slave Caliban.  He conjures up a storm that shipwrecks his enemies on the island’s shores.  As Prospero and Ariel weave a magical web, murder plots are hatched, unlikely alliances form and romance blooms between Miranda and the son of her father’s deepest enemy.  

  I loved Jennifer Lines as Ariel.  Her costume and make up, thanks to costume designer Christine Reimer, were perfect and her quick ‘hummingbird-like’ movements made her believable as a magical sprite. The other sprites (Sereana Malani, Adele Noronha and Claire Hesselgrave) were also nimble and agile.  They certainly got a good work out during the performance.  Caliban (Todd Thomson), a savage and deformed mud-covered slave who seemed to have a bit of a foot fetish, made everyone laugh.  Another amusing scene was when some actors had to do double duty (in less-than-believable roles) as three masked men played brides dressed all in white.  The evening ended with a rousing standing ovation.

A Midsummer’s Night Dream

Artistic Director Christopher Gaze asked the audience how many were first timers.  More than half of those in attendance raised their hands, a clear indication of the stellar reputation this Vancouver production.

  The synopsis:

Oberon, King of the Fairies, is upset with Queen Titania.  He commands his servant Puck to produce a magical nectar that will cause love at first sight.  The mischievous sprite arranges for Queen Titania to fall for Bottom, a simple weaver (now transformed into an ass) while hilariously misdirecting the affections of four runaway lovers.

  Thunder, the sound of rain, and fog opens this performance as the cast comes on stage hidden by black umbrellas.  At this point, judging by the eclectic costumes, and later interlaced with songs from the fifties, including: Silhouette, Who Wrote the Book of Love, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, it is clear that this is an adaptation.  Bottom, played by Scott Bellis hilariously reminded me of a nerdy Mike Meyers.

  If you’ve ever wondered what goes on beneath those red and white tents near the Planetarium at Vanier Park, do yourself a favour and check them out.  It’s a wonderful way to spend a summer evening.  No prior knowledge of Shakespeare is needed.  In addition to the four plays, there are many other special events being held under the tents including Chor Leoni and VSO presentations as well as a Bard-B-Q complete with fireworks.  Find out more at:  bardonthebeach.org
