In the London of the Bard and rural Weobley

Shakespeare's Globe, reconstructed as faithfully as possible, in wood, of course, along the south bank of the Thames in the Bankside Cultural Quarter, is the place where one can truly be overwhelmed by the excitement of watching a tragedy as and where it was staged during the 16th century, thus in the open air. The theatrical offer is extensive: not only Elizabethan plays, but also comedies and productions for

families, to thematic lectures, short courses and guided tours. Soon, a short distance away, the Museum of Shakespeare will open in Shoreditch, on the very site of the Curtain Playhouse where the Bard performed many of his successful plays. The new museum will focus heavily on technology, interactive exhibits and digital storytelling. Then it is absolutely necessary to go to the village of Weobley, located a little over twenty kilometres from Hereford, where the earthen and wooden houses with their black and white structures and the surrounding countryside near Ross-on-Wye and Leominster really project one into the places that serve as the backdrop for Chloé Zhao's film: one can perhaps stay at the very old Green Dragon Hotel in Hereford and then go to the Oldfield Forge in Garway to join the blacksmiths in their ironwork to forge knives. Instead, join the falconers of Wye Valley Falconry for an intimate moment with hawks, buzzards and owls right in the Herefordshire countryside.
