Wow! Cool. Hereby joining the never-been to-the-Globe-but -would -love-to group. I've heard it only costs a fiver if you stand up as well, or a tenner if you go in the reeeally cheap seats
I have however been to see the RSC at the RSC theatre in stratford upon avon. Anyone else done that?
I went to see the Taming of the Shrew and it was really good. The setting of the stage was awesome, they had doors all overs, some were even suspended in the air. Sounds wiers I know but it looked pretty impressive.
Love RachelXXX

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol.. sounds it but was probs quite practical! woodnt it be ace to do a show wit the RSC? just doing that would mean that you are a good actor!

 

[Addaperle]

I think it's really funny that when The Wizard of Oz premiered on stage in the UK, it was the RSC performing it!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

was it?? lol.. how cool!

 

[The-Doctor]

I recommend the Globe to anyone...did you know the whole theatre part of it is held together by wooden pegs?...12,000 of them. There is not a single nail in the whole structure!

The accoustics in that place are amazing!

I saw Ina Maclellen in Richard the third...it was the same play but the costumes were all set in the 1930s he did a film of it too. The stage had minimal set they just moved stuff like tables and things on and off a black stage it was amazing!

 

[braodwaybaby]

is it still held together by wooden pegs? its not the original theatre, that was burned down and they built and exact replica....but is it that exact?

 

[Kilted Stranger]

yea.. theyu had to get planning permission to get a straw roof... in case it burned down... lol. i do think they have electrical lights tho.. and not candles! lol!

 

[The-Doctor]

The only things modern in the theatre are the elaborate sprinkler system on the that roof ...in case it does catch fire and the electric lights but as far as I know everything else is done in the original way. Its not quite oin the original site but close to it.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

always gd to return to the past... i love going to visit old castles as well

 

[Addaperle]

Castles rule... I like Stirling Castle best though!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

Stirling Castle has nothing to offer... Edinburgh is the best!
