The Globe is certainly a convincing venue, but on the artistic front some of their ideas have been a bit iffy. On the whole I'd say their productions haven't matched up to the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park. I'm not sure what the problem has been - maybe Mark Rylance has just had to make the best of some awkward compromises thrust upon him for non-artistic reasons. (Eg the all-women Much Ado last year.) The best open air production I've seen yet was a touring version of Twelfth Night last year, with Wayne Sleep.

I still have four to go, but White Tiger, my daughter, who has just turned 13, will have seen nine within the next couple of weeks, and 11 before the summer's out. I should think she's entitled to claim that as some kind of record.
