Sebastian T 8B Globe Theater Letter To a Friend Shakespeare Final Project

Dear Henry, I have just returned from the Globe Theater and liked it so much that I have to recommend it to you. I watched //Twelfth Night// by Shakespeare and was particularly impressed by the actors portraying women. I was on the third story, the top story, watching from above. If you do follow my advice, I would like to tell you that there are no advertisements or announcements for the plays. I know it gets confusing but you have to look for a flag over the theater. A black flag is a tragedy, a white flag is a comedy, and a red flag is a historic play. Also I would also advise you to pay the higher fee to sit with the lords on the top floor. I found it satisfying to sit on the cushioned seats above all the poor lower class peasants. If you are lucky, they will use stage props and special effects on the occasion. //**Thou**// should also visit the theater at night. //**Oft**// the theater is quite hot because of the open air environments. Also, remember the fare for the boat to cross the Thames. **//'Tis//** a very expensive trip. About 2 pounds for the trip. //**'Ere**// you go be aware that they don't accept shillings. Overall, however, the money is worth it. //**Nay**//, it is worth more. If you ever find yourself in town, contact me and we can go see a play together. I think you would love Twelfth Night! Don't worry the fare is on me.

Hope to see you soon, Sebastian T
