The outdoor theatre I flashed an example of before is known as
Vira-spelen.
Some 130 amateur actors play the same story each summer outdoors at what used to be the largest weapon forging factory during the years of the Swedish empire (roughly 1600-1720 when gradually large parts of the Baltics, Norway and parts of norther Germany and Poland was concured almost making the Baltic sea an interrior sea), in particulary known for theirs swords. When king Karl XII lost the great Nordic war against Peter the great of Russia, much of the empire was lost, and as the king died in 1718 in a battle in Norway, most emperial dreams were forgotten, the army was downscaled and the blacksmiths in Vira lost their weapon contracts and had to start to make plows and schytes.
This is the historical background for a low story where the son (a young blacksmith) and a daughter of the two leading blacksmiths are to be married, but she fall in low with a blacksmith from a competing factory. Sort of a Romeo and Juliet story. I must admit that I have forgot much of the complex story. Every year they hire some professional actors for the lead roles. The great name in 2005 was the Swedish actres
Julia Dufvenius.
Somewhat aged members of the surviving Karolinean army:
Blacksmiths having some sort of meeting being nostalgic over the good old days of sword-making. The guy inspecting the sword is the father of the young girl...
...played by Julia, to be married to this guy because their fathers want them to.
But there is another young boy, a visiting blacksmith...
....who takes her by storm.
I believe you can guess where this is heading?
All shot with the SMC Pentax-A*135mm f1.8 on the good old *istDS. Pretty sure that lens outresolve the 6MP sensor.
EDIT: Looking at those blacksmiths, they don't look that authentic. Don't think the real blacksmiths were usually that clean, and their leather aprons looks like they never been anywhere near a smithy.
