i never checked it out but wanted to... the shakespeare's globe: http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/
if you and the wife can get a night away from the kids, you can get standing-only tickets for dirt cheap, and that seems like a really cool experience
(i think they were only 5 or 10 GBP per ticket). right in central london, and you can go for a nice walk by the thames afterwards, including across
one of the bridges (one is solely a walking bridge).

you know, they were just starting to rebuild htis when i lived here years ago.
now, every picture i see of it, people are standing.
standing for the length of a shakespeare play?
definitely an experience, but not one i'm so hot for!
haha!
if they have seats, i;d go.
otherwise, i'll take the rsc at barbican.

since this might be the fastest way... i'm heading down to the apple store at oxford circus in about 30 minutes, then over to holborn for the
afternoon. not sure which is easier for you to grab lunch.

not quite the same i know, duane, but there's a theatre above the White Bear pub, just on the other side of Kennington Park.

they are currently 'showing' a play called Moonshadow.
"John is determined to get down to Cornwall for the total eclipse. Not easy when you're sectioned in a secure ward. But he knows he has to be there -
it says so in the Book of Revelations. And Judy wants to help him now. By playing Madame Butterfly. Meanwhile a life and death drama is being played
out between the psychiatrist treating them both and one of the nurses ... As the eclipse draws near, the hospital becomes a cosmic battleground. Light
and darkness. Life and death. Good and evil. Madness and sanity. The last apocalyptic battle. "
