Macbeth production: inaudible as Lady Macbeth's voice weedy and hoarse. Other actors too did not have strong voices and they completely "lost" the audience. You could hear the audience's frustration and disbelief. Many walked out. Many complained and reviews pointed this out as well but the Globe did nothing to improve the quality of the performance, e.g. by providing actors with microphones. I asked for a refund or a ticket for another performance and I was refused that, I was told I should have complained about the actors during the performance?!!!!! As if they would have changed anything while I was there. Ridiculous. I would have walked out if I could have done so without disturbing the people sitting next to me, who were having a picnic. There was a lot of food and drink being consumed in the theatre, something that the Globe "actively encourages". This made it doubly hard to concentrate and understand Shakespeare's language. Some of us who have paid good money for top tickets are serious theatre goers, but the Globe's priority is to make money on food and drink, sadly.

This theatre is popular because it's a replica of the original Shakespeare's theatre. But the seating (as in their other covered theatre) is awful, uncomfortable, cramped, many seats are facing away from the stage so they require you to twist your back and neck to see the stage, there are several restricted view seats not sold as such. The only tickets facing the stage are very far away from it, so it is not a fantastic viewing experience. Front of house staff are unhelpful and disabled toilet does not lock. Largely a tourist attraction.
