Shakespeare’s Globe: 2010 Season
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre recently announced the 2010 season of plays, which they’re calling “Kings & Rogues“. This year’s slate of plays present some fantastic opportunities for us as theatre-goers. While we’re in London, we’ll have the chance to see both Macbeth and Henry VIII, two plays that showcase both kings and rogues.

No doubt we’ll be have a great time this summer as we stand like Groundlings and watch the plays!
