We got the peasant class, standing ticket for the show. The trick is to get in early and stand in the round front section. The show was outstanding, everyone(even the teenagers) were laughing throughout the show. What a great value! more

I recently saw the Merry Wives of Windsor at the Globe. I had standing tickets. I was not really excited about going because it had been raining and I only found out right before I went that I had to stand the whole time. I was planning on leaving after a little bit but I stayed and loved it! This... more

Get the five pound "penny stinker" or yard tickets. It's a great way to be entertained cheaply and it is so immediate. Get there early and stand at gate 4. You can literally lean up against the front of the stage and all around it. It was a very unique experience. If standing for a couple of hours is not... more

Unfortunately we have yet to visit London during the summer months so have only been able to "do the tour" and visit the museum which we thoroughly enjoyed. The section where one can listen to different actors presenting the same Shakespeare speech was particularly interesting. E.g. comparing Olivier, Gielgud, Burton, Jacobi and others giving the "To be or not to... more

Going to Shakespeare's Globe is one experience that just doesn't disappoint. I've been several times a year for the past few seasons. Most fun (even though I'm in my sixties) is to go and stand - tickets cost £5. This to me is actually preferable to paying for a seat: the groundlings (i.e. those standing) have an infectious sense of... more

My 14 year old daughter and I did the tour on Tuesday afternoon, cost £10, I thought this was a bit much for a tour but my daughter wanted to do it. The chap who showed us around was enthusiastic helpful and very knowledgable, we saw rehearsals for the opening of a new play that evening and the exhibits on... more

This was such a great stop on my London Tour. The recreated Globe theatre was fantastic. A ticket will allowe you to tour the exhibits and recreations of Shakespearean costums and homes. Then you get a 30 minute guided tour around the theatre. The tour guide was so knowledgable about Elizabethan times and the theatre itself. While we were there,... more

Me and my two children (15 and 11) went to the Globe Theater in London on a whim. We waited on line to get the 5 pound "pennystinker" tickets, jst before the sold out show (I'm told they release some seats just before show time for tourists and others who are on a whim). These are the tickets where you... more

Forgive the late review but I just discovered trip advisor. We went to The Globe Theatre in 2004 and saw a production of Romeo and Juliet. Before the show, we had a tour of the theatre. I highly recommend the tour. You learn little things about the construction of the theatre that make your show experience all that much better.... more
