The ovid one sounds good. And it's been a couple of years since I last saw much ado, so a good cast may attract me to that. Will give the rest a miss

I think that is an excellent bag. Lots for tourists and GCSE students. 🤪

Now that the pendulum has swung to extreme minimalist sets for the last two seasons after the Rice era hoping for a little more staging this year.
The season is full of the old favourites and will likely be popular and looking forward to a hot sunny summer of the Greatest Hits with A&C for depth.
Who would be a Shakesperian AD, one chooses the popular, one backed into a corner having to complete the cycle and neither can win.

I'm a sucker for a cheap ticket, live in theatrical hope and always forget just how much my legs hurt and how stressful I find trying to guess the groundling queue, so anyone know if there's a season planner or do I really have to look up each play and note down the dates everything is on? I've never got my head round their newish website.

What’s happened to this place?...

Just thought you would all love to know the heights of erudition the Globe mag has achieved :
On R&J it pronounces :
“The prominence of ‘and’ in the titles might cause one to reflect on how exactly the characters are joined together.”
I kid you not.

One of the biggest world problems facing mankind. The meaning of the word 'and' in Romeo and Juliet.
Never mind Antony and Cleopatra and Troilus and Cressida. They're all right. It's Romeo and Juliet we need to be concerned about.
Next year it will be the importance of 'The' in the comedies. With The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors, and The Merry Wives of Windsor,

At the theatre I work at we screened the Globe's 2018 Winter's tale last night - a very much stripped back production, but I certainly enjoyed it, especially Leontes touching the statue and saying 'she's warm'. beautiful but our perhaps more literal minded audience couldn't cope we seeing the audience or the lack of literal set and costumes, and many hated the play. Two plays that have always been in the background for me are now very much my favourites - The winter's tale and Love's Labours lost. Truth to tell the Globe's bear was a little limp, but some great performances, and poor Hermoine certainly has to stand there as the stature for so long.

Not that terrible falling over structure bear? Seat prices seem to vary now according to schedule I've seen.

Are you on a membership thing? Think from a tweet I saw there was a similar problem with the tier before, it didn't initially work and then standing wasn't working till some hours later so maybe try later.

A morning spent working out the best schedule, the provided calendar would be a lot simpler if set out like the RSC in the standard weekday/month format.
Decided to catch all of the Shakespeare’s and make my mind on Metamorphoses later in the year as it does not start until September, main house productions both seated and a groundling and the touring productions as a groundling only including the 3 midnight matinees the best way to experience the Globe in my opinion.
The members discount and a more groundling bias means 11 evenings in the Globe for an average of £21.
