I was invited to attend a theatrical performance on one of Shakesphere’s plays, the Merchant of Venice – as part of the Shakesphere in the Park – which was performed by the Singapore Repertory Theatre.
I’ve couldn’t recall this particular play, but it was an enjoyable performance, but the funniness was that it appeared to be a special night – for various ‘schools’ of Singapore…and no I am not talking about University schools…I am talking about secondary schools! So we were surrounded by loads of teenagers making lots of noise and enjoying the evening away from school.

I’ve wondered around Fort Canning Park, but didn’t realise that they actually held performances in this area – but it was a great location and the performance had a sterling group of talented actors. It was a modernised twist, with LED-light backdrops and a nice music score to support the scenes and performances. As it was an outdoor event, I was wondering whether the clouds were gather and the skies open – but the weather held out and it turned out to be a great evening – with a picnic to boot.
