Kings & Rogues at Shakespeare’s Globe

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

With a promising summer on the cards, this may be the year to throw caution to the wind and risk seeing an outdoor performance at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. This year’s focus is on Kings and Rogues, kicking off with my favourite, Macbeth, running now until 27th June, and starring Elliot Cowan (pictured).

What a great idea! I am going to toss a whole pile of caution to the wind - leave baby at home with hubby and plan a night out with the girls! Thanks for the tip Lara




Lesley Says:


Fantastic venue, just watch out for people dropping like flies in the summer heat. I saw King Lear there last summer and at least two people fainted in the audience during the performance! Adds another dimension to the experience I suppose…
