Went with friends to see the Dallas Shakespeare Festival's production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor, TX". Despite the heat... the trick is to go on a weeknight (Thursday is the new Friday), and don't arrive until around 8pm (play starts at 8:15), as the sun is going down. It cools off nicely.
Most of our close friends are gourmets and oenophiles, so our picnics are great. This evening we had a great variety of cold salads, grilled figs, bleu cheese, fresh berries macerated in limoncello, and a great selection of wines (dry roses and a savignon blanc).
The production: a send up of Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" set in Texas in the mid 1960's. A total hoot with all references to geography appropriately substituted, as well as quite a few liberties taken to lifestyle references. It was really a great show.
Catch it if you can, it's only running about 2 more weeks.
