Culture! Richard II

Highlight of the day was going to see Richard II performed in Shakespeare's Globe theatre! The theatre was built by Shakespeare's playing company in 1599, burned down in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and demolished in 1644. Finally the original was faithfully reconstructed and opened in 1997.
