All the World's the Globe Stage!

It has been an amazing time here in England and one of the highlights was my experience last night (Tue, Oct 22).I was invited by Dr. Farah Karim-Cooper to speak to her Shakespeare adaptation class about Kill Shakespeare, our interpretation of the characters, our next steps, etc.  It was a great chat and we discussed everything from feminism to Game of Thrones.Thanks to all the students who came out to the class.And then afterwards Dr. Karim-Cooper offered me the opportunity to hop on stage.  The stage wasn't in use that evening so they turned on the lights and let me walk the boards.  It was a simply amazing experience and one that I will never regret!  I couldn't hide my glee and felt better when Dr. Karim-Cooper mentioned that Dr. Stephen Greenblatt, one of the world's top Shakespeare academics, had a similar reaction.I am still on a high from this, 24 hours after the fact.Here are some photos from the day:The sign!Trying to stay cool on the balcony...Recreating Romeo & Juliet with the Globe's Esther Mackay.Anthony marvels at the GlobeFor some reason they had a prop gun so I figured it would be appropriate to use it for a photo with The Globe's Sian Petty...... And then use it again with Dr. Farah Karim-Cooper...The class!The winners of my class contest, winning copies of our books!
