I was lucky too - at a similar age, I was introduced to Shakespeare as an actor! I played the lead role in a cut-down version of Henry V at the age of 11 in primary school. We went to see the Laurence Olivier film, and my mum, seeing something to be encouraged, took me to see A Midsummer Night's Dream in Regent's Park. The next birthday Book Token I received was spent on a Complete Works, and a lifetime passion was born.<br /><br />I do so agree about the Globe too.Sue Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931579567032057786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-90046727595025785332016-05-16T21:26:17.013+01:002016-05-16T21:26:17.013+01:00And The Comedy of Errors was the first Shakespeare...And The Comedy of Errors was the first Shakespeare to which I took my identical twins! <br /><br />Highly recommend the groundling tickets at the Globe...queueing with a picnic and using the stage to prop you up. Magical to be so close. And one of London's best bargains.

We went on a school excursion to see the touring RSC in The Winter's Tale. She was playing the dual roles of Hermione and Perdita so they had to get a double to be Perdita in the last scene, wearing a hooded cloak... :-)Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
