No plays on this occasion. They won't let the dog in I have seen most of the Shakespeare plays at the Stratford theatre over the years. As youngsters we used to sleep outside as the first 50 people got free entry but had to stand at the back. Then we got more sensible as our brains developed (in humans this normally happens from around age 30) and bought proper tickets, and stayed in a hotel. The theatre has changed beyond recognition since those days. The plays take place all round the audience but everyone can see and hear it all. There are no normal wings. Actors come and go along the aisles. Brilliant.
That sounds wonderful. I don't think I've ever seen a live Shakespeare play (just a few filmed for TV, and then movie adaptations). I love the early Thursday Next novels by Jasper Fforde, and in (I think) the first one they go to a production of Richard III that has been running for so long that the audience all know the lines and are invited up onstage to participate.
