Get your act on
Get out on the lawn for some Shakespearean action

If truth be told, on my rare forays to the theatre, I usually find myself examining the ceiling cornicing, muttering "Stop all that acting dammit".

The Royal Academy's huge Summer Exhibition opens today. 10am-6pm. Burlington Hse, W1. £7.

Iain Aitch, inventor of World Phone in Sick Day launches his new book A Fête Worse Than Death - A Journey Through an English Summer at the Horse Hospital. 6:30pm. Colonnade, WC1. Free.

One sure-fire way round this conundrum is visiting Regent's Park Open Air Theatre - where, by definition, there is no ceiling.

Today sees the launch of its summer season, with shows including A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and High Society.

The great thing about this theatre is that - should the play drag - there's so much more to enjoy: the gradual descent of dusk's cloak, the wildlife (insect repellant recommended) and, ideally, a hearty, alcohol-based, sleep-inducing picnic before you sit down.
