Season of Plenty

 Back to college & back to normality now =( - but I've had an awesome summer filled with so many memories, spent most of it at The Globe in London so thought I'd post all of my memories on here. There's quite a few photo's but oh well. Enjoy =D


First time I ever saw the Globe (Back in April)























I ended up seeing the Tempest 8 times


































On the first night I saw the Tempest, I met Roger Allam. Still can't believe it even now!!


































Also, I met Matthew Raymond, who played Adrian and took over the role of Ariel when Colin Morgan was ill.

When it came to the last night of the Tempest, all us Groundlings got together and made posters to give all the cast, we then signed them and handed them out. We could only give 2 out face to face but we've heard the other actors loved them when they got given them. Here's the final template for them:

































Then there came 'That Scottish Play'


After Macbeth I met Billy Boyd. He was so lovely and was happy to stand and talk for a little bit. Though I forgot my name when he signed my programme for me

Then there was Midsummer Night's Dream which I will admit as much as I love the other performances, this one had me crying with laughter, it was brilliant to watch. And the actress who played Hermia played her better then I did at school.




After the performance I met some of the cast and although there's no photo's, there's all the autographs































And last performance I saw at the Globe was The Lightning Child, it was funny, funky and very sparkly. Though there was a warning sign outside before the performance, and the sign got it right.


































 This performance contains filthy language and bare flesh - and it most definitely did

















The White stage set is before the show. The colourful stage set is during the interval


































Colin Ryan, an actor in the show takes off his boxer shorts and throws them into the crowd. The person who caught them eventually gave them to me =)

                                   
































And then whilst in the pub after the show I got dared to put them on, which I did and walk right up to Colin Ryan. He found it funny (I hope) and signed them for me =...I'm not weird honest!






















Another actor in the show, Jonathan Chambers signed my programme.




But with all the shows, you're going to meet new people and make friends, which I did and they come from all over the world. France, Mexico & Germany etc... and there's always next season to meet again and also make new friends
