Gail Spencer Review of Shakespeare's Globe
Long ago and far away, we would have theatres alon...
Long ago and far away, we would have theatres along the riverside, lots of them. They would be there to entertain the masses and would be frequented by the commoners of London. One day, an entrepreneur and actor decided to repeat this experience in a modern London...and Sam Wanamaker started the initiative to build The Globe.
The gift shop is probably one of the best in London, with all manner of curios given the Shakespeare treatment.
Every year there are dramas that have seasons, just as is the RSC at Stratford and the Barbican/National. The Pit is allocated to the commoner as was in the day, with the seats, or spaces around the circumference more pricey. The walkway and approach is fantastic, on a summers day, the reflection of St Paul's is clearly visible in the tour windows. Great that there is as much on the Brummie Bard here in the capital as there is in the Midlands.
