Midsummer Nights Dream – Globe Theatre – 2pm Friday 9 June 2023

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.

7/10
