Thrice happy

One of my favourite summer activities is going to the Globe Theatre and, despite this being our third summer in New York, this will be the first year I haven’t managed to see any of their plays since 2002. However, New York isn’t exactly devoid of Shakespeare, and the summer here offers many different opportunities to view his plays both indoors and out. In our usual slightly haphazard fashion we managed to see three in the same week, so here follows a digested view of what we thought about them all…

It’s opera Jim, but not as we know it…

As part of our continuing mission to sample what the NYC cultural scene has to offer, and because the open air performances we want to see keep getting rained off, last Sunday evening found us downtown for our first Off-Off-Broadway* show.
