I'm an actor and thought the Globe was absolutely spiffing

I thought the Globe was great but it didn't seem like the staff wanted me there and they were very rude

: 11Jan01:
Interesting production, using all the abilities of the Jacobean stage. Vanessa Redgrave, however, hindered the production with a por and unconvincing Prospero.
