I was a groundling at the Globe about 10 years ago. I arrived in London early afternoon, the day before a set of business meetings. The hotel concierge said there were tickets left for that evening's performance of Romeo and Juliet, but only for standing room. How much? £5 made it a very easy decision.
William Shakespeare is peerless in literature, drama and poetry. His plays are often a difficult read, though, even for native English speakers. This has contributed, I feel, to an oversight and under-appreciation for the wisdom he has offered for centuries. So in ST! I endeavor to engage, entertain and educate a modern day audience.
