As a Literature Graduate, going to the Globe was incredible. The sense of history, knowing that one of the most famous writers in the world wrote all his works specifically for this stage, is unlike anything I have ever felt before. Yes, I was very VERY excited. We stood with our £5 tickets and saw a non Shakespeare production in the pouring rain- it was brilliant. There are seated tickets but the seats to the side of the stage have a restricted view, and if you are after comfort then back and seat cushions can be hired for an additional fee. Personally, I would definitely go for standing tickets as you are easily able to move and there is a fantastic atmosphere to be found in â¬Sthe pitâ¬]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:44:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/events/1t3208h/shakespeare-s-globe-theatre/1t4e871629681268 doodlekitten theatre helpful staff historical 51.50794383007 -0.097907631807179 Union Theatre - BLUE REMEMBERED HILLS by Lord_H http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/events/1r42p8g/union-theatre/145ef8

When you think about your childhood what do you remember? Days spent running about in a park or field without a care in the world, a time when a Panini was a type of collectable sticker and not your lunch, days when it was fully acceptable to pick your scabs and tell someone about it!

Dennis Potterâ¬"s Blue Remembered Hills brings childhood memories into startling focus.

Fandango Theatre Company is delighted to be staging Dennis Potterâ¬"s, perhaps best loved, play at the Union Theatre in SE1 from 30th September till 18th October.

On a sunny, summer afternoon in 1943, seven children play in the hills, fields, and forests of bucolic England. As they tease, fantasise and fight the day away, their innocence is about to be destroyed forever.

The children will all be played by adults.

Blue Remembered Hills was originally shown on the BBCâ¬"s A Play for Today series in 1979. Following Dennis Potterâ¬"s huge success with Pennies from Heaven the year before, Blue Remembered Hills became another instant classic and won him a BAFTA Award for â¬ÜBest Single Playâ¬" in 1980. Who can forget Michael Elphick as bully boy Peter and Helen Mirren as pretty daddies girl Angela. The National Theatre staged a wonderfully received production in 1996, directed by Patrick Marber with Steve Coogan leading the cast.

Playing Mummies and Daddies or Cowboys and Indians, collecting jam jars or hunting squirrels are all in a dayâ¬"s play when youâ¬"re seven in 1943. But with no adults around, the childrenâ¬"s adventures become more and more daring. For these seven children the next game might just be one adventure too far⬦

Blue Remembered Hills is produced by Fandango Theatre Company and directed by Jamie Honeybourne
