Melbourne theatre-goers, beware: there will be blood. And vomit.
You've never experienced Shakespeare like this before.
"Modern audiences are trained to sit in silence," says Dr Miles Gregory, pointing out The Bard's plays were originally performed to rowdy, ale-swilling crowds.
Gregory is standing in the middle of Melbourne's newest theatre: the Pop-up Globe. It is six weeks away from opening – and just a few months from being torn down again.
