Ever been to the Minack theatre at Porthcurno in Cornwall? Like a Grecian ruin, carved into the cliffs high above Lamorna Cove, you watch a play with the sea as a backdrop and the stars as lighting. One of the plays I've seen there was Midsummer Nights Dream, which was about as perfect as you can get.
The place belongs in heaven, let alone The Shire.
