The Globe

Anne, Oliver and I are to visit The Globe tomorrow if it does not rain. We have our pennies, and our warm clothes to hand. I am so excited as we are to see Richard Burbage in Hamlet. I saw Hamlet a while ago, but it was not by Will Shakespeare, it might have been by Thomas Kyd, but I cannot now remember. I do remember it as a fast moving play, with great amounts of gore on the stage. I also remembered being disappointed, as we had to travel a goodly distance outside the walls to reach the theatre, and the play was very short. If Shakespeare's play is just a copy of Kyd's I shall not be too disappointed, as I shall be seeing Richard Burbage again, he of whom I dream in the warmth of my narrow bed.
