DEBUT!!!

"DEBUT"

at

Shakepeare's Globe Theater

for the performance of

"ANNE BOLEYN"

starring
JPE & CEE
as

"GROUNDLINGS"

In the post,
 Tour 'Round the GLOBE
 I mentioned 
we would be taking our "seats"
as "groundlings"
meaning - we didn't actually 
SIT ANYWHERE!

we STOOD for 
the 2 1/2 hour performance!
& LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

Our tour guide had mentioned
 "performances must-go-on"
even if it rains!
It had rained for 3-4 hours during the night
NOPE!  
we wouldn't need our raincoats!

YEP!
we did!

YES! 
the play continues!
with the cast &
front three rows of the boxes 
getting damp...

& the "lowly groundlings"
getting MORE than damp!

 ALL part of the "MUST-HAVE-EXPERIENCE"!

VIEW of ROYALTY BOXES
Huh! this doesn't look like royalty!
we actually had closer views 
of the actors & actresses

planning a trip to London?
this is

A MUST-HAVE-EXPERIENCE!! 

Shakepeare's Globe Theater

SECOND DEBUT!!! 
Following a tasty, hearty dinner
in the Crypt at St Martin-in-the-Field's
(we had a "cuppa" tea & scones
here ~ more than ONCE!!?!; 
made brass rubbings 
& used their very clean WC's ~
whenever we were near this area)

"ROMANTIC" 
...candles were lit 
in all the church windows
...tea lights adorned
all the church pillars

PRE-CONCERT 
ORCHESTRA PIT

BELMONT ENSEMBLE
played several of our favorites

Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

during the 2 hour performance

"This ensemble was established 

to enable exceptional music graduates 

the opportunity to bridge the gap 

between leaving conservatoire &

finding full-time employment, 

within a professional environment."

"They are considered a "fixture"

on the London music scene &

rely on enterprising programming

& box office receipts to fund

performances."
