I haven't seen anywhere near enough Shakespeare plays, but I agree wholeheartedly with the comments about the Globe. It is such as pecial place. I was lucky to be given a comp to see Romeo and Juliet there last year (a friend of mine was one of the theatre musicians) - I had never been before and it didn't matter that I was on my own, except that there was no-one else who I could wholly share the experience with. It was a gorgeous balmy July evening, the play was fantastic and an evening I will never forget.

I'd love to be a Groundling, but don't think my back would stand it! For a fiver, it is the best value of anything anywhere - never mind in London!
