after class in the morning and our afternoon walk through the south thames, our whole group went to Macbeth at Shakespeare's Globe. it was the most ridiculous thing ever.. there was more fake blood than anything i have ever seen. everyone on stage was just coated in it, and had huge gashes all over them.. gross.

NOT to mention, we were 'groundlings' so we were standing right in front of the stage. they covered us all with a tarp so that we wouldn't get blood on ourselves. gross. it was a gigantic fabric pulled across the audience with holes for us to poke our heads through. ridiculous? yes. here are some pictures to show this fantastic setup. and as if that wasn't enough, the three witches from the play would come under the tarp and grab you with their blood coated hands. i may or may not have had 13 heart attacks.




*on a positive note there were tons of attractive actors and that's the only reason i didn't walk out.
