Very good fun. Only an hour and a half but v entertaining, ideal for a summer evening and if you look for it, a serious message.

Hurray for The Globe! I'm glad it cheered you up a bit...theatre-wise...as you sounded a bit grey yesterday!

Thanks, latecomer - I was a little wasn't I? But I always enjoy the Globe, seeing the red sunset and so on over the roof, hearing the gulls, wondering if Shakespeare's audiences saw and heard the same and we managed a nice snackeroo in the brasserie. The bar has become very brash, attracting the 'young' no doubt but a bit uncomfortable for after theatre musing.
Nice to see Penny Downie storming it and holding the Globe audience in the palm of her hand.

Pleased to hear it as I'm seeing it this weekend. As you, there's always plenty to look at at the Globe - it's always entertaining (if you're into schadenfreude) to watch the groundlings being hauled to their feet when they try to sit down!

And the uninitiated trying to get into those seat thingies designed to torture your back! Surely designed before obesity became rife!
I too love to think about it all in Shakespeare's time and wonder what it was like. The planes can be a bit annoying and spoil the mood a little!
I think The Globe has done really well with great productions recently...this one, As You Like It, Frontline, King Lear to name but a few. I am a bit sad I won't get to see this one but am glad Lynette got to see it after cancellations of trips in the past...hope you enjoy too!
