I think all the plays I see after experiencing a show at the Globe are ruined in some small way, just because they won’t be at the Globe! My goodness, what an experience! I was more immersed in both Mother Courage and A Midsummer Night’s Dream than I have ever been in a theatrical performance. The openness of it, both literally with it being outdoors and figuratively with …

Am I a famous actress now?
We got to go to Shakespeare’s Globe theatre. It is an exact replica of the Globe theatre that Shakespeare’s plays were performed in in the 16th and 17th century. We saw Mother Courage and Her Children and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Both times, I was able to stand directly at the bottom of the stage. …
Who is William and Why is He Shaking a Pear?
Getting to see not one, but two shows at the Shakespeare Globe was an amazing opportunity. It felt like an honor to see Shakespeare’s work done in his world. The theatre is meant for interaction with the audience and I love that it was so present in the two productions that we saw. In A …

I SHIP PUCK AND SIMON
We were so lucky to be able to see not just one, but two shows in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre! Walking in and seeing the stage thrust out into the audience was amazing, although the lack of seats was something I had to get used to. Standing for the shows, while at first sounded like a …
I danced on Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
During our time here in London we have gotten a great opportunity to see not one, but two shows at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre! The first was Mother Courage by Brecht and the second was A Midsommer’s Night Dream by Shakespeare himself! I thought both shows were heavily geared toward audience interactions by breaking the fourth …
Gluten-Free in London eats!
I’ve never really considered myself a foodie; being gluten-free doesn’t exactly make that easy, but after being in London, I can confidently say I’ve tasted some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. London is clearly a city full of passion in every form: theatre, history, art, music, business, literature, government, and …
Wow I love Theatre
I’m still stumbling from the high of seeing A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Globe Theatre. It was, in every way, the most perfect day. The night began in the Globe gift shop, where we bought flower crowns that felt very fitting for the play. While we were there, we spotted the actress who played …
Queen of my heart
I knew from the moment I saw her face, peeking around the corner, that my feet would be glued to the floor in front of this portrait. My icon, my inspiration, Princess Diana. (And now, seeing others felt the same! Didn’t see Diana was mentioned here before I wrote this on the train to Paris …
Serving Looks Since 1961
The National Portrait Gallery is full of art, the art that is the Princess Diana of course. As I strolled around the gallery of art that filled the walls and sat on cases in which to be studied, I couldn’t help but be pulled in by a corner with a large portrait. On this portrait, …
A picture says 1000 words
I chose the portrait of Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah by Serena Brown. She is beautifully painted surrounded by lots of plants and colorful flowers which creates such a powerful, lovely picture. In the picture her clothing and accessories really stood out to me because they showed off her confidence. She’s wearing a dress that flows from yellow …
