The Globe

Back from another day in London.  We went pretty much straight after the session this morning, and I found myself as a groundling at the Globe for the first time.  What a fantastic experience it was.  Myself and Eldest saw Henry IV Part one, and the three hours on our feet were worth every minute and every penny.  The play was full of commanding performances, brilliantly timed comedy and just down and out thrilling theatre.  It was the final performance, and I felt privileged to have been able to witness it.  I started the day feeling tired, irritable and ill, and finished it in awe of what one can do in a theatre, and feeling lucky that I have even the vaguest of connections with this wonderful industry.
