Letter : Globe dilemma
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I was pleased to see that John Walsh had undergone the Big "O" experience in Southwark ("What's this? Punch and Judy at the Globe?" 29 August). I shared much of the excitement he mentioned, propped up by my elbows at the right corner of the stage.
But the scene with Anastasia Hille, with her hands tied behind her back, being hurled towards my corner by the robbers, so that she was barely ten inches from my face, posed a real dilemma for me. As a gentleman of the second Elizabethan age I felt it my duty to assist her, at least by restoring her shoulder strap and white petticoat.
But as a coarse groundling of the first Elizabethan age I would have surely been more inclined to ogle her in her distress and let the villains have their way. In accordance with John Walsh's plea, I "learned my lines" and let the action take its lip-smacking course.
