The Globe
With our new friends we went to see Othello last night at The Globe Theatre. It's on the same site, and based on the same design as the original theatre. It's across the London Bridge from the City of London, which was the only place that would have him back in the 1500's. So what that means is it was open air, which was pretty cool (pun only kind of intended). Ended up being a pretty nice night so not a problem at all.
We got tickets for £5 which was pretty sweet, the downside being that the £5 tickets are for standing room only and Shakespeare is one wordy man. 3 hours!
Oh, and another experience we had last night that you can only do in London. Absinthe. Currently not legal in the US but completely legal in the UK and Europe. And we had a drink. And...well...nothing. So we were 1 for 2 on the new experiences in London.
