Shakespeare's Globe


The Shakespeare's Globe is right along the water near the London Bridge. This building is a replica of the original Shakespeare's Globe as it would have been if it hadn't burned down in 1613. It is a circle that rises three floors with an open roof except for part of the stage which is covered. Standing tickets can be purchased cheaply at 5 GBPs but, tickets are more expensive to sit down but they are also under a thatched roof. There are pillars on the stage and pillars surrounding the inside of the building. Everything is as it would have been back then which makes the experience even better.


I went to the play As You Like It and I loved it. The show was amazing entertainment for my evening. I payed for a standing ticket and I thought that at the end of three hours my feet and legs would be dead, but supprisingly I was so entertained that I was not even sore afterwards. The actors and actresses were very good at there roles and the play was very well put together. I really enjoyed my time at this play. If coming to visit and want to see a really great show then I suggest that you stop by Shakespeare's Globe. You won't regret it.
