Theatres in London

                                       Theatres in London 

No visit to London is complete without seeing a show!

In the West End you can enjoy musical, dramatic play or incredible opera.

My choices:

The Mousetrap, a long-running hit, it has been on in the same theatre for 59 years!!!!!

The musical Young Frankestein: hilarious!

An exciting experience, a dream which has come true:  I’ve travelled back in time at Shakespeare's Globe, a reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse where Shakespeare's plays were performed

The Play Hamlet; Prince of Denmark

 The raised flag is the signal that the play is staged.

The pit or yard and the  groundlings

The three tiers of roofed galleries with balconies

The modernity in the tradition: the main role, Hamlet, is played by an actress and Ophelia by a man!The other way round compared to Shakespearean times.
