A Day at the Globe Theatre

       It is a normal hot afternoon in London when my husband, a farmer, comes and surprises me. He tells me he is taking me to a play at the Globe Theatre at noon. I am ecstatic because I have never been and have heard that they are a great way of entertainment. Plays at the Globe Theatre are also known around the city as big social gatherings and I am sure to see many people I know. I dress in one of my finest dresses because I am unsure to how people will dress for the event and do not want to be under dressed. When we arrive at the play I find out that we are seeing Henry IV which I am told is an unforgettable work of the great Shakespeare. My husband and I have four children and not much money to splurge on great seats, so we settle for tickets in the pit which are only one cent. However, my husband does find some nuts for us to snack on while watching. We arrive a little early and are happy to find a suitable standing area with a good view of the small stage. I am waiting in anticipation as thousands of other guests surround me. Finally, the play begins and I am engrossed with the acting. The theatre is noisy, but somehow all of the men in costumes find a way to make their voices heard. The play has strong characters that are hard to disagree with, and it is about war. It is easy to follow for me because I pay no attention to the people around me. It ends and I still have questions about it. I hear rumors that there is a sequel and I decide I must come and see it. Maybe we can get seats in the gallery next time. My husband and I find our way out of the crowded theatre after stopping to chat with a few of our acquaintances. We make our way back home and spend the rest of the day with our children on our farm.
