Globe &Tate

Wednesday we went to London to visit the Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern Museum.

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men. The Globe theatre was open to audiences in the summer and the performances took place by daylight; the King's company usually began to play in the month of May.

The grounds surrounding the Globe Theatre were bustled with people. There were Stalls selling merchandise and refreshments creating a market day atmosphere.

What a treat the theatre was for the people of Elizabethan London. Histories, Tragedies and Comedies were written by the greatest playwright of them all - William Shakespeare. The popularity of the theatre reached people from all walks of life - from Royalty to the Nobility and the Commoners.

In this theatre we can see the life in the 16th century which is very different than nowadays.

And then, we went to visit the Tate Modern Museum. I prefer the tate modern museum because we can see the works and we can imagine what the author wanted to say to us, the public. It has been really interesting.]
