Shakespeare’s Globe

Shakespeare’s Globe, an iconic London landmark nestled along the banks of the River Thames, is a remarkable recreation of the famous open-air playhouse that once hosted the works of the legendary playwright William Shakespeare. This living tribute to the Bard's genius transports visitors back to the Elizabethan era, offering a truly immersive and authentic theater experience.

The Globe Theatre meticulously replicates the architecture and ambiance of its 17th-century predecessor. With its thatched roof and open-air design, it provides an unparalleled setting for Shakespearean performances and other classical works.

The theatre hosts a rich program of plays and performances, featuring a blend of Shakespeare's masterpieces, contemporary productions, and experimental theatre. The Globe's dedication to the original practices of the era, including natural lighting and period costumes, adds an authentic touch to each production.

The exhibition at Shakespeare’s Globe offers an in-depth look at the theater's history, the life of William Shakespeare, and the world of the Elizabethan stage. Visitors can also explore the open-air Yard, where "groundlings" stand to experience the plays as they would have in Shakespeare's time.
