No, not Idream ... I had a lot of fun going to this, completely reccomend everyone to get out there and watch it. Started off yesterday with a picnic in Highpark, then went over to the TD Canstage. Make sure you go fairly early as it was pretty packed about half hour before the show started and seating is hard to find. Also make sure you bring a blanket and pillows, i'm very glad I had mine.

Alcohol is tolerated, so you can bring a bottle of wine or whatever, some cheese, or chocolate and watch a Shakespeareian comedy/love story with your friends or loved ones under the nights sky. It's a really great atmosphere.
