Westminster Abbey was so beautiful and historic. Being there with so many important figures who have passed was a little haunting, but it gave me a larger appreciation for those who have done so much for humanity. The entire building was a piece of art that I’ll never forget. One of the graves I found …

Fringe Theatre can be Hot and Stinky
Fringe theatre is a very frivolous term because there are so many opinion-based factors that determine whether or not a theatre is fringe. This ranges from theatre size, to the size of the company that is producing it, and even to the quality and funding the show might have. Even with these examples, not all …
The Errors of Comedy
We came back to the Globe! On Thursday we crossed the crowded Millennium Bridge once again to meet at the matinee showing of Comedy of Errors. Our seats were directly across from the stage at this show, which gave us a better perspective of the staging and movement of the actors. From the beginning, I …
Another Trip Around The Globe
Shakespeare’s Globe-the beginning of theatre, movies, everything. It all started here. Our group saw another Shakespeare production a couple of days ago at the Globe Theatre. As we made our way into the Globe Theatre, I tried to imagine what the experience would have been like during Shakespeare’s time. Did audiences realize how they were …
Shakespeare’s Globe Part 2
A couple days ago we went back to Shakespeare’s Globe to see “Comedy of Errors”. Every time I see the globe I get shocked how small it actually is inside. This time we had a direct center view of the stage, and I honestly would’ve loved to have the seats we had last time. It …
Hirschy Highlight: The world needs less women in Chevron dresses.
We had already been to a show in the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, but our afternoon watching The Comedy of Errors felt very different than before. First of all, I will never get tired of the Globe Theatre. It is possibly one of my favorite theatre venues I’ve been to, especially outdoor venues. The stage isn’t …

Comedy of Errors – Day 17
Comedy of Errors was not my favorite play when we read it in class, so I was most looking forward to how they would be handling all of the fight choreography, all of the boats, and then potential doubling as we have seen that a lot already. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in …
Ah, thy sun tis bright
I have attended two performances at the reconstructed Shakespeare’s Globe. Let me say, the best view is an illusion. For our second performance, Comedy of Errors, we had traditional good seats: dead on the stage. However, there is the slight problem of the sun. Yes, the glorious day star which is notoriously bright shined right …
Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre
I really enjoyed going to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Comedy of Errors! I enjoyed the plays a lot more than I thought I would, I have never been big Shakespeare fan because I get confused when trying to read and understand the language, but watching the plays are so …
The longest shortest play ever
We recently returned to the Globe Theatre in order to watch a production of The Comedy of Errors, and I believe that it is time for me to give my honest opinion on Shakespeare’s old stomping grounds. I hate it. On one hand it is really cool that we have such an accurate recreation of …
