Wondered if there may be early reports on this one.
Seems Globe is ahead of RSC and NT in striking a return-albeit gentle-to normality.

Was there last night.
Groundlings are now standing, reduced capacity, believe it is limited to 200, plenty of space to find a spot and not be on top of each other and the atmosphere is beginning to return.
Enjoyed the play, first night so a bit clunky in places and the interaction with the crowd was muted but this will improve as the play settles, will give my thoughts when I see it again in a few weeks time, staging was weird though, had an American feel set which was not really evident in how the play was performed, loved Sir Toby and Terry was her usual brilliant self.

Saw it sat and oh my goodness my legs! I suspect having to run to and fro between the station and car park due to them removing the ticket machines may not have helped but I clearly should have practised just standing. Yes I didn't quite get the set either but there's some really interesting choices around gender in this (I mean apart from the obvious ones) and some lovely performances and singing. Felt quite busy whilst clearly the yard was still on limited numbers so could do some distancing. Am due to see it by accident on day they're streaming and wondering if they'll take the whole of the front out with camera tracks? (Was there for R and J in the eve stream and they went across the whole of the stage apart from where there were steps). Atmosphere much better with more people in and standing groundlings.
