A day at the Globe...






























The man and me carried on the theme of British institutions with a visit to the Globe today to see Macbeth. It was my first time at the Globe and it was the most amazing experience. Lucy Bailey’s interpretation was original, powerful and very bloody, with the three most sinister witches imaginable. The audience standing in front of the stage were encouraged to watch with their heads poking through a black canopy, to help evoke the dark nature of the play and encourage some very entertaining audience participation! The theatre, the play, the food… a perfect day out in the city.
