Shakespeare’s Globe held as much wonder for our Year 10 group as it did for Londoners in 1599. Luckily, we had glorious sunshine for our visit to watch Much Ado About Nothing on Thursday. This wonderfully directed, engaging production was full of exquisite animal masks (Adeena, with her sharp analytical eye, noted how each animal reflected the personality of the character wearing it), dancing and tons of comical moments that had us all laughing and clapping along. Just like in the sixteenth century, the busy theatre buzzed with excited chatter, the same hustle and bustle as for an original audience. We watched the show with many other school groups, which created a real sense of community in the central yard and galleries. It was so much fun to look around and see so many happy faces, not least Chelsea Academy’s!
