Shrews.

I'm in a better mood since my last post because I'm on my way back from London after having seen the first traditional Shakespeare performance of the trip, The Taming of the Shrew. Whereas the content is hugely sexist, the actual performance was phenomenal! Not only were we in the Globe theater, but we also felt like we were in Shakespeare's time! The actors spoke the exact lines from the play, were dressed in Shakespearean garb, and even really interacted with the audience. One actor even reached his hand out into the crowd after the line "take my hand" and directed his line at a man in the audience! I stood for the first half of the play which was kind of miserable when it started raining (there is a gaping hole in the center of the partially outdoor theater) but I definitely felt like I was more engaged than I was in the second half when I got a seat. Not much else is happening tonight besides reading for our last history class tomorrow. A couple of us had talked about maybe going pubbing and clubbing but it may end up just being a quiet night! That's all for now! Love, E.
