When my dad was visiting we took in a performance of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" at the Globe Theatre.

View from our seats. There were musicians on stage playing music before the show began.
My dad didn't realize that this was the famous Shakespeare's Globe theatre so he was pleasantly surprised when we got to our seats. The theatre features in so many films that it's immediately recognizable from the inside.
I've yet to see a bad show at the Globe, and this one did not disappoint, but the first act was just a bit too long. At one point I started to think that maybe there wasn't going to be an intermission at all.
Best line of the night: My Oberon! what visions have I seen! Methought I was enamoured of an ass. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 4. 1
