Bard on the Beach Fireworks, Win Tickets
When the Celebration of Light fireworks schedule collides with Bard on the Beach there’s no reason to miss one or the other. Two of the most-loved summertime activities in Vancouver combine at Vanier Park as Bard on the Beach presents its special “Bard-B-Q” event. On July 30th, August 3rd, and August 6th you can enjoy Shakespeare under the tents, a salmon barbecue during an extended intermission, and following the production you’ll move to a private seating area for the fireworks in English Bay.
This event always sells out and is a joint fundraiser for Bard on the Beach and the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre (a $25 tax receipt is issued for your ticket purchase). This season Bard on the Beach presents As You Like It and The Merchant of Venice under the main tent.
If you would like to enjoy this one-of-a-kind event on a simmering summer evening by the water, I have a pair of tickets to give away. The winner and a guest will receive tickets for the August 3rd event and the performance of As You Like It. This also includes dessert and coffee after the show and front row seats for the fireworks. Total value is $210.
Here’s how you can enter to win:
I will draw one winner at random from all entries at 12:00pm July 20, 2011. Follow @BardontheBeach on Twitter throughout the season for updates and specials.
Update The winner is Treena!

This above all: to thine own self be true.
Be not afraid of greatness
A long farewell to all my greatness!
To sleep, perchance to dream
This above all: to thine own self be true.
What in a name, when that which we call a rose, by any other name, would still smell as sweet
Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.
To be, or not to be: that is the question
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio
favourite Shakespeare line comes from the ending soliloquy by Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream:
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Bard is so romantic. Love the salmon bbq they have every year.

sinners?
Would live this prize it has been so long since we have been there it would be wonderful.

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Now I am alone.
O what a rogue and peasant slave am I!
Is it not monstrous that this player here
But in fiction, in a dream of passion
Could so force his soul to his own conceit
that from its working all his visage waned
tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect
And all for nothing – for Hecuba!
to sleep perchance to dream….of seeing Bard on the Beach for the first time……

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
Many a morning hath he there been seen,
With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew.
Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;
But all so soon as the all-cheering sun
Nothing can come of nothing
All the world’s a stage.
This above all: to thine own self be true.

I love the verbal jousting in Much Ado:
BENEDICK
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living?
BEATRICE
Is it possible disdain should die while she hath
such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come
in her presence.
BENEDICK
Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I
am loved of all ladies, only you excepted: and I
would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard
heart; for, truly, I love none.
BEATRICE
A dear happiness to women: they would else have
been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God
and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I
had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man
swear he loves me.
BENEDICK
God keep your ladyship still in that mind! so some
gentleman or other shall ‘scape a predestinate
scratched face.
BEATRICE
Scratching could not make it worse, an ’twere such
a face as yours were.
How poor are they that have not patience!
“O happy dagger, this is thy sheath!”
“Frailty thy name is woman.”
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
To be or not to be.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow
These words are razors to my wounded heart
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
What’s in a name?
To comment or not to comment, that is the question

“O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily
do, not knowing what they do!”
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
How far that little candle throws his beams. So shines a good deed in a weary world.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
I absolutely love this quote. I first heard it in the movie Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson . Strangley Emma Thompson and the Mr. Willoughby character are now married in real life!

Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune – Hamlet
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.”
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

-Twelfth Night, act I, scene iii
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow
To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause – there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
-from the ghost speech in hamlet
When shall we three meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain?
At least, that’s how I think Macbeth starts…
I do bite my thumb, sir.
“What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
‘Come, let’s away to prison:
We too alone will sing like birds I’ the cage;
When thou dost ask me blessing I’ll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness; so we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies…
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
BAM!
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
Fair is foul, and foul is fair
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

All the world’s a stage,
be not afeard, the isle is full of noises,
sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurtt not
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood, makes civil hands unclean.
Love the Romeo & Juliet prologue!!

what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not
me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so.

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Romeo and juliet :
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.
Kiss me Kate, we will be married o’ Sunday.
I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself,
And falls on th’other. . . .
“A hit, a very palpable hit!”
“let me play the moon”
“Our damn’d spot, out!” – Macbeth
Oops. That was a typo! I meant to write, “Out damn’d spot, out!”
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? – Sonnets:XVII
With love’s light wings did I o’er-perch these walls – Romeo & Juliet II ii
TO BE, or not to be………that is the question.
