Sophie Baron's amazing journey to The Globe in London and back.

Over the July school holidays Year 12 student Sophie Baron performed at the Globe Theatre in London as a member of Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand’s Young Shakespeare Company. 

Every year 24 students are selected to be apart of this cast, after taking part in a year long selection process, starting with 5,000 students. 

Sophie participated in a comprehensive package based primarily at Shakespeare’s Globe London getting involved in workshops, talks, Q&A sessions about the plays with actors and directors, behind the scene tours of the Glove, Rose, and National Theatre, watching performances and rehearsing at the Globe. 

These two weeks in London finished on a high with an 11 o’clock performance of ‘Henry V’ to the public on the Globe Stage, with Sophie as one of the 12 Henry's. To finish up this incredible experience they moved on to Stratford-Upon-Avon; birthplace of the bard, to watch the Royal Shakespeare Company perform.
