This replica of the original globe theatre is a wonderful venue for contextualising the development of theatre in the Tudor period. I attended a contemporary adaptation of Romeo and Juliet with a small group and was really impressed with the ensemble casts passion and ability to engage with the audience. Couple of things worth noting- Because there is an open roof external noise can drown out the actors( we had a helicopter overhead for almost 15 mins!) and that there is no padding on the seats as per a tudor theatre so 90 mins on a hard bench.
