Was pretty excited about tonight. Jess, Charne, Rebekah and I went to the Globe Theatre along the river Themes to see Romeo and Juliet. We saw it the same way that the poor people did back in Shakespeare's time- that meant that we had to stand for the entire performance. We didn't mind- it was such a bargain, only £5. We were also much closer to the stage.

I was glad that I knew the story otherwise it is easy for me to get lost with the language used. The show was great. It was a fantastic atmosphere. It is a small theatre, open roof. Luckily there was only a shower that lasted a few minutes. Each time a plane flew over the actors paused and then continued. During the performance, the actors walk through the audience, made us feel as if we were part of the stage. It was a great night out.
