We went to see Much Ado About Nothing, written by William Shakespeare, at the Globe Theatre, an exact replica of an outdoor theater from the 16th century. My first thought is that it was cold. Very, very cold. The wind was blowing particularly hard, and I felt sorry for the actors. I used my bag …

8. Chillin’ like a groundlin’ – A story of tragedy and mirth
To begin today’s blog, I would like to paint you a picture, or write a self-insert fanfiction, as it may be. But first, a cute picture of me from this morning, which Kaylee sent to the group chat with the caption “Cori is the bestest of friends! Care packages for friends 🫶🏼🇬🇧💂🏼” See? My friends …

Much Ado About Nothing and Shakespeare’s Globe!
One of the things I was most excited for was getting to experience Shakespeare’s Globe here in London. The icing on the cake is the fact that I got to experience Much Ado About Nothing, my all time favorite play of Shakespeares. I have auditioned several times now with Beatrice’s monologue and can recite it …

A Shakespeare nerds dream.
Going to Shakespeare’s Globe was a DREAM! (buckle up this is a long one) In high school I would have never thought that a little building could bring out so much emotion in me, especially one relating to Shakespeare ( I was not a fan). As a more recent hardcore Shakespeare fan, being in the …
Shake(speare) Your Bootay!
Yesterday, we took a trip to the Globe Theatre, which is an exact replica of the theatre that Shakespeare’s plays were performed in during the Elizabethan years. This was so exciting for me! The Heavens were intricately decorated with blue and gold angelic designs, and the open stage was ornamented with giant, gold orange trees. …
Much Ado About Something
Since I did my first Shakespeare show in 2023, I’ve had a love hate relationship with the material. I mean, I appreciated it for what it was. I understood it’s importance in the history of the theater and why it’s taught in class all around the world. But, I had my issues. When we did …
Much ado
The Globe Theatre was beautiful and such a fun and interesting experience. It is the only building left in London with a thatched roof, and that alone sets it aside from other theatres as far as historical background goes. It was smaller than I expected, but I didn’t mind because I felt that it gave …
Living my Bridgerton Dream…
We started the day with a 2-hour train ride, which was so much more comfortable compared to my airplane experience. I took the whole time to take a nap, and it blew by so fast. When we arrived at the Bath tube station, it was a breath of fresh air. There was so much more …
Much Ado About Nothing
We had the amazing opportunity to see Much Ado About Nothing preformed in Shakespeare Globe Theatre. The building itself—a replica of the original that burned about 400 years ago—is a Tudor style circle with a simple stage surrounded by bench seating on three levels and a large space for standing. There is only a roof …
