I’m from Canada so the Globe is a little far away. However, yesterday I did go to Stratford, Ontario, to see Simon Callow in There Reigns Love – Shakespeare’s Sonnets brought to life. It was wonderful!
It was all wonderful and hope you have read my further posts on same. Glorious afternoon.
Sarah- glad you enjoy random and keep visiting..
Margaret – yes I did watch first night of proms, got home in time and agree totally about the Four Last Songs. totally ravishing, moved me to tears, my god whata voice.
The so-called ‘new’ style presentation however had me foaming at the mouth, I may have to vent about in on blog
Still reading you, Elaine!
I’ve never been to the Globe — me, with two degrees in English lit and now teaching in a university department that includes theatre. Sigh. Next time …
oh, I would have loved to go there. I love Shakespeare! lucky you.
Lucky you — I went there a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. What did you see?
I’m from OZ, but I recognise those images. We were there almost 3 years ago :-)
great photos! great atmosphere..lucky you, did you see any action?
I really enjoy your blog btw..sara x
That’s all very well, a trip to the Globe, but did you hear the First Night of the Proms? I switched on just in time to hear Catherine Brewer, who stepped in at the last moment, to sing Strauss’s Four Last Songs. I loved every moment. At first I thought no way could she match Jessye Norman in her prime, and for me Jessye’s rendition is beyond the stars in its beauty, but tonight’s singing came pretty close.
