The Candlelit Sam Wanamaker Theatre

This is the Sam Wanamaker Theatre, the candlelit recreation of a Jacobean theatre at the Globe Theatre, set up for Edward II where I went for this afternoon's matinee with my daughter. Sadly she was fading fast by the interval so we didn't manage to see the full play. @HumphreyHippo had another view last month for a different play here

Three good things:
1. actually getting my daughter out to London to see a play, even if we didn't see all of it
2. she coped on the tube without a full face mask
3. she scored a pair of trousers that look to be the right size and style for £5.49 from M&S, which will make a good pattern if they fit.

Thank you for looking and all your amazing comments and favs. You're all superstars. I prefer to look at and comment on your pictures rather than thank you individually below.
It looks amazing! Like stepping back in time. Great shot- and glad you were able to see at least part of it!

A fabulous image and I love that you are looking down at the scene and your processing is spot on. :)

Such a pity you couldn't stay. It is a fabulous space.

@humphreyhippo I've seen a lot in that theatre - from acoustic folk to poetry, Isango's Mystery Play, Passion in Practice performing in original pronunciation, other Tudor playwrights, the Handel and Tallis plays and Dominic Dromgoole's final season when he produced Shakespeare's last plays.

This is so beautiful. I love the warm glow and I love that the lights are starlights. This almost looks like an oil painting to me. Very well done!

I agree, this looks like an oil painting. It must be a fantastic participative experience to sit so close to the theatre scene.

Beautiful shot. Hope you enjoyed the play.

Your picture makes me want to skip all the day's responsibilities and go see a performance here. Love the lighting.

Wonderful - they should encourage the audience to come in period dress - perhaps for a couple of special performances - Fav.
