ABSTRACT
If you read the first volume of Medicine and Literature, you may remember that I was inspired to write about a Shakespeare comedy by a visit to the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park, London, with my course organiser colleague Caroline Dickinson, and our little band of GP registrars. On that occasion the play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and we all enjoyed it so much that ‘Shakespeare in the Park’ became a regular summer event. Last year we went to see As You Like It, and we liked it very much in spite of the chilly July weather and a brisk downpour in the first five minutes.
