The New World
This is a play on at the Globe about Thomas Paine, an activist in the French and American Revolutions. It is reasonably humorous and has lovely costumes. There is lots of music and people walking through the audience. However the characters are not fully developed and at some points in the play you are left wondering who the characters are. It also tries to cover too much while still maintaining an almost overly slow pace.
