Today I stood in the standby line outside the Globe to try to get a ticket for Macbeth. I queued up at about 12:15 and got a ticket about 13:25. It was a yard/standing room only ticket.
So I queued up again to wait to stand. Today was a day of standing.
That’s the queue inside the theater to get inside the theater.
Once inside, I was only two rows back from the stage and two blisters away from enjoying the play as God and Shakespeare intended.
It is an open air stage and even the wyrd sisters were not immune to being interrupted by the occasional aircraft.
Major notes include the wyrd sisters singing all their lines and Mac and Lady Mac having a child (not a speaking role). Duncan and Malcolm were as undynamic as usual, but the final scene
spoiler alert
was Malcolm turning to the throne, crown in hand, to see the tiny Macbeth child climb on to it.
Interesting.
After that was a wine bar and then more wine so that is all for now.
Carry on.
