This was my second visit to the Globe, but thanks to a Gift Card I got a reduced price seat rather than standing.
The seat was reasonable but did have a pillar blocking the view a little bit zling with the pillars on stage that also block parts of the action a bit.
The person playing Demetrius was indisposed so as with Comedy of Errors someone wearing black red the part (although holding papers rather than a full ring binder this time).
This is a comedy in which the course of true love never did run smooth – largely due to fairies drugging people and thinking what fools these mortals be.
The audience was quite distracting with people taking photos during the performance, and people walking about a lot. Some of those in the standing area were taken ill during the show (it was quite warm) and were helped out by staff.
The play was amusing and it was a nice contrast having a seat this time. I was lucky to be in the shade throughout and as I was on the back row I had a wall as a backrest.
