IN THE SUMMER TIME WHEN THE WEATHER IS FINE..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The dramatic improvement in the weather in May and June tempted many of us to enjoy the
\nopportunity to get outdoors. Apart from gardening, walking, fishing or golf, there seems to
\nhave been a revival in recent summers of outdoor theatre and cinema. Again this year we are
\nwell catered for in Cardiff and the Vale.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIllyria will be staging an outside production of Shakespeare\u2019s Twelfth
\nNight at The Kymin Gardens in Penarth on Friday 25 August
\n(7p.m). With a running time of 2 hours 30 mins we are promised an
\nevening of yearning romance, music, and sheer joy – all performed on a
\nstage inspired by those of the Elizabethan touring troupes! Ticket
\ndetails: Adult: \u00a318.95\/Child \u00a312.95 (under 12s) – booking fees apply. We
\nare politely requested to bring low-backed chairs or blankets and dress
\nwarm! You are welcome to bring a picnic (no BBQs sorry). Light
\nrefreshments will be available
\nInterestingly, Twelfth Night, or What You Will is believed to have
\nbeen written around 1601\u20131602 as a Twelfth Night entertainment for
\nthe close of the Christmas season. It was probably commissioned for
\nperformance as part of the Twelfth Night celebrations held by Queen
\nElizabeth I at Whitehall Palace on 6 January 1601 to mark the end of the embassy of the Italian
\ndiplomat, the Duke of Orsino.The first documented public performance was on 2 February 1602 (at
\nCandlemas), in the Middle Temple in London, one of the four Inns of Court. One odd fact about
\nthe play is that some believe Sherlock Holmes’s
\nbirthday to be 6 January due to the fact that
\nHolmes quotes twice from Twelfth Night whereas
\nhe quotes only once from other Shakespeare plays.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIf movies are more your thing then Luna Cinema
\nare returning to Cardiff Castle with three outdoor
\nshowings of popular movies. Harry Potter and
\nthe Philospher\u2019s Stone (PG) is being shown on
\nThursday 31 August at 8 p.m. The next evening, 1
\nSeptember we can revisit the Julia Roberts\/
\nRichard Gere classic, Pretty Woman rated 15 and
\non Sunday, 2nd September, Top Gun (Maverick)
\nrated 12A. You can bring a picnic but alcohol
\nmust be purchased on site. Tickets can be found online and cost from \u00a317.50.
\nThe National Trust in conjunction with Adventure Cinema are also offering outdoor cinema in
\nthe beautiful surroundings of the Dyffryn Gardens South Lawns. Dirty Dancing (12) will be
\nshown on Friday 8 September, Top Gun Maverick (12) on Saturday 9 and Grease (PG) on
\nSunday 10. Apart from watching the movies this will also be an opportunity to see the gardens
\nafter usual opening hours and experience the beauty of Dyffryn on a late-summer evening. You are
\nencouraged to bring a picnic blanket, your own food, perhaps a chair and to wrap up warm. Food
\nand alcohol will also be available at the venue. Doors open at 6.45pm with the films beginning at
\n8.15pm. Tickets from \u00a315.50 need to be purchased in advance from Adventure Cinema.
\nAs an alternative to all this you could always use your laptop, a projector and a homemade screen
\nto extend your evening entertainment outdoors by setting up an al fresco movie theatre in the
\ncomfort of your own garden. Better still, there may be some enterprising Wenvoeites with amateur
\ndramatic leanings, willing to put on a garden production or two. If so, What\u2019s On can always be
\ncounted on to get the message out there!<\/p>\n
