Shakespeare's Globe Theatre



Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Last week (I know, I've been really terrible at writing in this blog lately...I'm going to try and be better at writing, I promise), we were able to go see AS YOU LIKE IT at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.  It was Darrel's first time seeing a Shakespeare play, and he and I both thoroughly enjoyed it.  The Globe was originally built in 1599, and it was a little overwhelming to think that plays were being performed there over 400 years ago.  Well, the Theatre that we were in is actually a reconstruction because the original theatre was destroyed by a fire...however, it was still quite brilliant :-)

Picture taken from our seats, so you can get a good sense of what the space looks like.  And yes, the people standing are not covered by a roof....luckily, the rain had pretty much stopped by the time the performance started.
