Last night after a grueling and long day at work that resulted in a massive headache (don't worry still fun just lots of great big responsibility and not used to working 8.5-9 hour days yet!) I got to end my week on a fabulous note.
As part of our visa compliance they took us to our weekly cultural activity, The Comedy of Errors, at the one and only replica of Shakespeare's very own Globe Theatre!!!!!!!!!! Could I have been any more excited?!?!?! I think not!
First just to be inside the very well done re-creation was beyond amazing. Then the play was completely delightful which was just an added bonus! The acting was very clever and they took a very interesting but wonderful twist on the comedy of twin twins, faeries and mistaken identity!!! I (and the rest of the group) had the "peasant" seats which was basically standing in the yard. Now standing 2.5 hours after a long week at work seemed poor planning on EUSA's part but once the play started I just felt completely transformed back to the days when you couldn't wait to stand for hours if it meant being able to enjoy the magic that is a Shakespeare comedy! The time flew by and I was sad it was over because it was just the funniest thing I have perhaps (dare I say it?) ever seen.
As an added bonus I also received my tickets to go back to the Globe (in the lower middle class seats this time!) to see Romeo & Juliet next weekend!!! Divine!!!
