Richard III

[juliet]

This production of Richard III, currently on at the Globe, looks rather interesting. kitty_goth, marnameow & myself were thinking of going on the evening of Wednesday 23rd July. There's restricted view upper gallery seats at 13quid, or standing tickets for 5quid (I am dithering about which would be better; don't think my knees are up to standing throughout, unfortunately). Anyone else interested?

I'm not entirely sure I'd like to stand for the duration of it, either. I reckon gallery. Although for £4 more we can have the cheapest non-restricted gallery seats, it seems. What do you think?

It says "call venue for tickets" if you try to book them, so they might be sold out. But if we get a move on, that might be a plan. I shall book first thing tomorrow, so anyone with an interest needs to squeak now.

You kow that it's a squeek from me - it might well be a squeek from Sean as well - he seemed vaguely enthusiastic when I mentioned it to him. I shall demand answers from the boy tonight and let you know.

Here's a review , fwiw. I'm not sure it's worth very much :)

I'd prefer cheapest unrestricted if we can get them.

If you go the Globe, you have to stand... kind of defeats the object of it if you don't.

On the other hand, I'm not the one who'll have to stand there for the duration :-) I went on a school trip once to see "The Tempest", and we had seats that were right by the standing bit. So we could go and join the throng when we felt like it, getting a fuller sense of authentic Shakespearean atmosphere, and we could sit down when we got tired. Sounds like the best option, if you ask me.

Just my $0.02 [/english student mode]

Yes, but my knees physically cannot cope with standing up for that length of time... If we could get those seats that'd be OK, but I think they're mostly sold out now.
