Emma at the Globe and other fun stuff!
We went to see Jane Austen's Emma: a Musical Comedy at the Old Globe. It was legit. I really enjoyed how much fun the actors seemed to have with us as an audience. I really enjoyed the fervor of their performance, and the music was great. We tied it in to our romantic comedy unit and what the implications of the play were. I really enjoyed the story, and how Jane Austen came to life through their performance. Usually, I would find Jane Austen pieces innately boring and outdated, but this play was classic. I liked it a lot.

Naomi, I really enjoyed the play too! It was so fun to watch and you could definitely tell the audience was having a great time watching the cast. Also, it was so cool seeing you in their magazine!!
It was really awesome to see how interested the students became in the play especially when the more emotional parts started. I want to see it again to see if they added anything just to milk the attention from the kids. I thought it was incredible!
I loved the play! The language seemed very boring and overly formal at first, but once it started going the comedy was well portrayed and funny. I'm sure that the actors reacted more to our audience than they would for a normal one, since it seemed that everyone got really into it at the end.
I felt the same way as you and Danny! It was so cool to see people our age and even younger really enjoying a musical.
