The London Eye |
So, I will pick up where I left off: Melinda and I were visiting London...
It...is...later...than...you...think... Lights Out! |
If you have followed my blog over the past several months, you are aware that I am quite keen on trying new foods. Unfortunately, we were unable to try the famed 'jellied eel', quite a delicacy in London's East End. As a compromise, we visited the home of jellied eel, The Globe Theatre.
'All the world's a stage'. No, not from a Madonna song... |
The old Globe Theatre was built in the 1590s. In addition to staging numerous plays, it was reputed to serve as both a gambling house and brothel. William Shakespeare himself acted at the Globe, although records do not indicate how often he acted. Even to this day, a debate rages as to the authenticity of his plays. Despite such scepticism, he wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets; he died at the age of 52.
