We had an unusual (as far as I can tell) experience at the Globe. We saw three plays: Henry IV Pt. 1, Henry IV Pt. 2, And Henry V, all over the space of a single day (and with repeating casts across them). It was quite a lot to take in, but the casts were marvelous and the overall experience was great. We moved around in the theater for each show, and the rental cushions were a blessing (hard bench seats otherwise). It is worth noting that there is no such thing as an "unobstructed" view, not really anyway. Because of the layout of the theater (thrust stage, if that means anything to you) there are always pillars obscuring _some_ parts of the action.However, our day at the Globe was one of my favorites of our time in London, and if I was to go back I would be strongly in favor of going back again.
