To enter this magical world, take a stroll along the Boating Lake in Regent's Park, one of London's nicest parks, while heading to Queen Mary's Gardens, another stupendous gem right in the very heart of Regent's Park. From there, take a dive into the Open Air Theatre Wonderland offering a romantic and cosy atmosphere. A few steps further lead to a semicircle amphitheatre where the very simple stage will undoubtedly surprise you later on.
What about the programme? It contains excellent shows performed by highly talented comedians. The 2010 season has just started with an amazing play by Arthur Miller, "The Crucible", about the Salem witchcraft trials which occurred in 1692/1693 and the increasing madness of a whole village filled with suspicion, jealousy and manipulation. It also refers brilliantly to the 1950s'era of McCarthyism, also known as McCarthy Witch Hunt, in the U.S. when anyone linked to or thought to be linked to any communist activities was automatically arrested, prosecuted and even snuffed out with no hard evidence to sustain the potential charges. A. Miller was himself brought before the House of Un-American Activities Committee where he was found guilty of beliefs in communism. No wonder "The Crucible" written in 1953 has a very deep message!
