The Tempest drowns Utrecht
Last night we went to see a FREE outdoor version of The Tempest at the Dom Tower in Utrecht. They had reconstructed the central part that collapsed during a storm centuries ago, and so with this years 750th Anniversary of the Dom, it seemed quite fitting.
It started after the football (of course).. we managed to find a good spot to watch, at the back of the posh seated area, stood on the decking, about 4feet higher thsn everyone else.
It played like an scene from Towering Inferno, with firemen chucking water around and soaking everyone! But the most impressive was the lighting and the sound, for the first time in ... ooo how long the Dom tower was not lit up with the normal flood lights, but with projections of actors and theatre lights.. pretty good visuals! Cries and screams filled the small streets of Utrecht ... gpeople who didn't know about the event must have wandered WTF was happening?!
As you can see by the time on the clock, we were in town until way after midnight, but it's a friendly place... specially when Holland has just won a footy match!
