Our Lady Catherine safely transported some members from Ashfield U3A to the Globe Theatre in London again.
This trip was not to see a performance but to look at the history, get behind the scenes, see demonstrations of dress worn in Shakespeare's time, learn about the audiences of the time, sword fighting and how performances are planned.
One of the actors, Mike, was their guide and they also went out into the streets to see where the original Globe was situated (the current one is the third!) and then a privileged viewing of the Rose Theatre. What a fabulous day and huge thanks to volunteer driver Alan Browne who ably negotiated the streets of London once again! — at Shakespeare's Globe.
