RIchard III and 12th Night In a Day

I am not a huge Shakespeare buff. I respect it but it's not my ideal type of theatre. However, I am an avid theatre goer. as a result I feel like I need to see the Globe Shakespeare productions. I do feel they are a unique event that I should see.

My question for this post is... who has seen them both in one day? Do you think seeing them back to back is to much to handle? Or does it actually add to the "event" of it. Just thought I'd see what the opinion on the board is. Thanks!

^ it is, and it's what a friend and I are doing on Saturday, December 28.

I'm doing this combo tomorrow - two-show days are very doable, especially when one of them is a comedy.

I saw them both on the same day in London from a good orchestra seat. It was mind-blowing and about as much fun as I've ever had in the theater. And I have bad knees and all the rest of the usual complaints of someone in his 60s. But it was a brilliant, memorable day and night in the theater and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Saw them both this past Saturday (Richard was first). Plenty of time in between to unwind and think it over and then head back for the comedy.

Rylance even stage doors in between, then headed off on a folding bicycle for a ride in between shows.

talking with folks in the theater, it seemed like many more did 12th Night on Friday night, then Richard III on Saturday, instead of doing the one day doubleheader like we did.
