7/1/2016 0 Comments Shakespeare's GlobeLast night, my class and I went to the Shakespeare Globe, an oak-and-thatch, open air, replica of his original theater. We got there early enough to stand and lean right up against the stage. The interior of the theater is beautiful, with bright orange petals hanging from the doorways and white orbs overhead. We saw "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and although I read the play in highschool, this was quite different. It was a quirky, modern-age Bollywood mashup of the play I know. There are song bursts from Bowie and Beyonce, sexual innuendos, and modern jokes/tweaks. I thought it was a brilliant blend of Elizabethan culture and our own. What a clever way of keeping the comedy aspect of the play alive.
