London? Ok, if you're going to London, be SURE to visit the Globe Theatre, and catch a Shakespearean comedy. Get "Groundling" seats, where you stand the whole time. I swear to god, it's worth it, since you can literally stand and lean against the edge of the stage, and during intermissions the actual players come down and joke with you and whatnot. You can't get a better view.

Using as nearly an authentic construction as they could, with the only true deviation in construction being a water sprinkler system they hide rather well, since the roof is made of bloody THATCH. It's SHAKESPEARE where Shakespeare was performed first! It's Shakespeare unlike anything you'll ever experience again. And you want to sit in a bloody seat that's as far from the action as possible?! You're -sick-. _____________________
