      REVIEW OF SHAKESPEARE’S KING HENRY VIII My family and I went to this production on our very first night in London, so it was only my parents, my sister and me. The play was shown in an exact reproduction of the 16th century Globe Theater. The theater was about the size of a small […]

The city was comprised of small chambers […]
