Global Humour

went to watch Shakespeare's comedy, As You Like It, at the Globe Theatre tonight.

i didn't think i was going to enjoy it so much!! we stood in the pit, where the poor people back in Shakespeare's day (aka "groundlings") used to pay only a penny to watch a performance. my poor friends and i paid 5.50

 the stage



side observation: jokes about sex are understood by all ages, all races, and all genders, no matter how old the english may be.

  1. Ah, man! I wish I'd gotten a chance to watch a Shakespearean play in the new Globe while I was there! It must have been awesome :) And 5.50 isn't that expensive, really! :P
