Well, why not post a deal yourself rather that criticise other people's deals?
You didn't have to come into this thread after all.

Wow.
2008 years ago.....
What were they playing? Was Bruce Forsyth in it?
How's the rheumatism?

Thanks for that incisive critique. :neutral_face:

A life enhancing experience - switched me on to Shakespeare too and I've been back many times. Nothing compares to standing in the yard at the Globe - and £5 is an amazing price. Need to add £2 booking fee!

you should go, he was an Italian born smart guy

Great! How much is it normally? Booked :smiley:

Is it trendy to disregard Shakespeare these days? Not incomprehensible if you make the effort. Certainly not 'boring' or 'poncey' either.

Stood at a few of these before. Whilst I prefer to sit you can sometimes get involved in the action if you stand - actors moving and fighting amongst you etc.

Shakespeare is boring enough without having to feckin' stand as well...be much harder to secretly nod off if you risk taking out fellow torture victims! :laughing:

Wonder if I can take my own seat?

​ok 'jumpingphil' lmao

Not really a theatre/play person but bought some thanks =D heated

firstly this is not exactly a 'deal' as this is the standard price but yes its cheap for what you get especially in London

secondly dont forget with the £5 tickets you will be standing for at least 2 to 3 hours straight (usually with an intermission) & you will definately not be allowed to sit down as they stop you from doing that - the best bet is to get there early as you can get to be next to the stage & can lean against it (or buy seated tickets)

thirdly its open air so if if it rains you will be standing in the rain

Ive been a few times, while Im degree educated Ive never been a literature buff at all so have a pretty hard time following whats going on as I simply dont understand shakespearean english (so I try to read a synopsis before I go) - im sure this would also apply to lots of people - even if you are like me its still worth going at least once just for the experience of seeing a play in the open air in the environment of the 'globe'

Probably the best one I saw was Titus Andronicus as you often didnt necessarily have to understand what they were saying to follow it - its also quite gory & violent which for me at least added to the entertainment

For me an even nicer environment is Sam Wanamakers playhouse - among other things I saw a baroque opera there & it was a superb enviroment to stage it in - its much more cosy & intimate than the globe

Went to one of these back in year 9, never again... :confused:

Great stuff!!

poncey s***

Thank op.

Is Shakespeare still incomprehensible, or have they improved it since I was at school?

cant get any £5 bookings to come up :/ Cant see standing tickets

Othello, Midsummer Night's Dream ?
Dont think the latter is playing actually

voted hot
any recommendations on what to watch?

Globe
Arty
Chokes

now if i only had someone to go with :disappointed:

agree - great experience and good productions.

Oh, wow, thank you for this! Will definitely be going! Can't believe this fantastic price!

If you havn't been its certainly a unique experience
