    Go on the tour, it's only £12.50. It's well worth it as they explain what it was like in London in the 1600s!

    If you're fit and healthy, the best seats are the cheapest; standing in the yard. Do it.

    A recreation of the original Shakespeare theatre that burnt down. Looks rather modern and fake in some ways.

    Get standing room if you can, some of the boxes have very limited viewing.

    i pray that the younger generation of today can look back and ask themselves if they know who Shakespeare is. A lot would claim they do, but truth is, they don't!
