Shakespeare @ Globe Theatre

On Sunday we headed to Globe Theatre for some Shakespeare. To be honest the only thing I find interesting about Shakespeare is the theory that he was in fact a woman.

Weren't most of his works about women being powerful, maybe not in physical strength, but of strong character? Weren't most of his works about romance? Wasn't he (she) living in a time where women were just not writers, poets or musicians? Wasn't it Mendehlsson who published his sister's works as his own, because women were simply discouraged to write literature/music in those days?

Back to Globe Theatre. We got standing area tickets, and none was us was really in a state to stand after the Aloha party the night before. We were at a party in Tooting Bec where the theme was "Aloha" so people showed up in Hawaiian gear yea, was a good night! But standing for 3 hours, at a Shakespeare play the next evening is about as close to torture as one can get. Needless to say we left at interval.
