The Globe Theatre will be putting on a production of Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies.
Photo: londondrum.comIt's supposed to be a joyous day in Illyria but not everyone is in the mood to celebrate. The grief-stricken Viola thinks her brother has died in a shipwreck and now founds herself in a strange new town. She descides to disguise herself as her dead brother to get a job with Duke Orsino, but when he sends her off to woo his beloved Olivia on his behalf (thinking she's a him), Olivia ends up falling for Viola instead. Viola, meanwhile, has decided that she likes Orsino!
A chaotic tale of mistaken identities, love triangles and amusing confusion then ensues, before Viola's brother turns up in the nick of time to set right all the wrongs.
Watching a play at the Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre is a replica of the one that stood in Shakespeare's day and is completely open to the weather. If you buy a cheap ticket then you'll be standing in the 'yard' that surrounds the stage. In Shakespeare's day it would have been filled with wet mud and sawdust, but these days it's solid concrete.

Photo: londondrum.comYou can also sit on one of the balconies that wrap around the yard. For the best view we recommend going for one on the middle level... but try and avoid the three bays closest to the stage because your view will be obscured by some supporting columns (so don't go in blocks A, B, C, N, P or Q). If you're in the upper level then avoid the first four bays (so don't go in blocks A, B, C, D, M, N, P or Q). And if you're on the lower level avoid the first two bays (A, B, P and Q).
