Henry VIII, by William Shakespeare: OK, so the play wasn't set here...but the play was being performed when Shakespeare's famous stomping ground caught on fire.

If you're not seeing a play then at least check out the gift shop.

Make sure you stand in the Yard for £5. Gallery seating is very fun, but terrible lack of legroom if you're over 6 feet tall. Macbeth is an awesome production.

Watch out, their staff can be very snobby! One commanded me to move away from the cushion table 'now!' in an awful and disgraceful way! Other than this, it was a fine experience.
Teresa HunterJuly 14, 2011
Pay a pound for a cushion!
