The Globe Theatre

Hi All

Went to the globe on my Birthday Last Thursday and to see 'Merchant of Venice', and I had a really good time. Shakespeare as it should be done and the theatre in my view.

Drinks allowed in the terracing and standing area, £6.00 to stand (the play goes on through the standing area) a really unique atmosphere, if any of you out there want to do something different this summer I highly reccomend, remember the standing is uncovered.

As a kid I got taken along by school to a dozen of more Shakespeare plays and although some of them I enjoyed, Taming of the Shrew (bawdy!) and Henry V (Makes any English man or woman proud) the vast majority of the time I was bored. This refreshed me and made me want to go again. Got our tickets on the day so not sold out all the time.

    i remember seeing twelfth night years ago on a school trip as a 15/16 year old that had a fit young judy dench in it and thinking she looked the business...now, however, whenever i watch the recent james bood films i just cant equate her with being the object of immoral faults that night...

    Anybody been recently?
    I'm assuming with Pickwick's post that you are able to sit too?

    Yes, the Globe is one of my favourite places in the world and I would heartily recommend it if you like Theatre.

    You can sit but the price is very much higher than standing (obviously) however, if you are able to stand I believe that this is the way to go especially if you can get there early enough to grab a spot near the stage. If you do decide to sit then go the whole hog and pay the small surcharge for a cushion coz they are the most uncomfortable seats in the world.

    What are you thinking about seeing?

    Not sure yet JW, was hoping to see Titus Andronicus , as it has such a reputation , but i notice it is no longer on .
    My daughter asked if we could go there, so will have to look to see what productions are being done soon.
    Any suggestions?

    Get in early, and pay the very cheap price to stand, and get a place right up by the stage so as to lean on it during the play, and take the weight off your feet.
    Highly recommended except if it is bucketing down.
