On Thursday 13 March 2008, all the year 9 and 10 students accompanied by staff from all departments, where privileged to attend a Gala Performance of Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeares Globe Theatre on Bankside in London. This was made possible by Moor House Schools affiliation to Globe Link and Globe Education. The students and staff travelled to London by train and walked to the theatre, undeterred by the inclement weather. Thanks to all the staff who gave up their evenings to attend.
Heres what some of the students had to say about the trip:
-
I thought it was good, the performance. No wonder loads of people were there. It was really funny.
-
I had not been to the Globe before so yeah It was good. The inside was very realistic.

The Globe Theatre was big and round. The play was very good.
-

-
They made sure you can see what was going on.
-
The Globe Theatre was very dark and also it was very chilly. The theatre was fast, but funny.

I thought it was a tremendous play and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
