My husband and I sight-seeing and when we reached the Globe, spontaneously bought a ticket to watch As You Like It.

We bought a 5 pound ticket to watch standing (traditionally called the groundlings) where we touching the stage, cheering and jeering as participants of the scenes.

Alternatively, a 15 pound ticket will get you a seat in the globe.

We loved it, how the Shakespearean language was lifted from the pages and spilt so fluidly and emotionally from the actors mouths. We loved their interpretation and the atmosphere in the theatre especially the dance at the end.

They sell beautiful postcards of the globe too and other souveniers, reasonably priced.

If you like musicals or English reading, you must visit this place!

Not quite "Star Crossed Lovers"

The current performance of Romeo & Juliet can best be described as competent. Unfortunately for my taste Romeo was portrayed in too "fey" a manner for my liking. Juliet was also technically sound, but somehow failed to engage my full sympathies & suffered from a tendency to rush even her most important soliloquies. My party's enjoyment was also spoilt by the Globe's "NEW" policy of allowing food to be consumed in the auditorium during the performance, truly off putting!!!

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our tour of the Globe Theater as well as the exhibition on Shakespeare in their museum. Unfortunately, we were not there during their theater season, but we both would love to see a production there in the future.

  • A New World: A Life of Thomas Paine

    Book Now
    Performance

    29 Aug 2009 to 9 Oct 2009

    Trevor Griffiths fills this moving story of the life and loves of the author of 'The Rights of Man' with songs, music and the huge carnival spirit of a world turned upside down. It is the late-18th century and on both sides of the Atlantic the world seems filled with exciting new possibilities for humanity: old yokes can at last be cast off, ancient hierarchies dissolved. Chief among those lighting the fire is the English radical Thomas Paine, a man of great compassion, brutal honesty and a political writer of genius. Whether answering the call of an America chafing under the tyranny of the British crown, riding the storm of revolutionary France, or challenging a conservative backlash in Britain, Paine is at the heart of things, ardent in his search for love, passionate in his pursuit of liberty.

    Book Now
    Performance

    2 Aug 2009 to 23 Aug 2009

    Playwright Frank McGuinness follows his acclaimed version of 'Oedipus' at the National theatre with a funny and sparkling treatment of Euripides' strange, comic, fairy-tale-like romance. Seven years have passed since the end of the Trojan war and Menelaus, King of Sparta and husband to Helen, is making his slow and painful way home. When his ship is wrecked on the coast of Egypt he stumbles upon what seems to be his wife lingering outside the royal palace. But if this is the real Helen, who was the beautiful woman stolen by Paris, for whom all Greece took up arms? Did Troy fall for nothing? Has it all been some god's idea of a joke?
