We stopped by the Shakespeare Globe Theatre on a Friday just to take a look at its rebuilt structure with the thatched roof. What we found is that it was opening weekend for the season in April and they were showing Romeo and Juliet - the classic and most famous Shakespeare play. At 15 pounds per person, it was a... more

My wife and I have traveled to London before or after visiting with family in the York area and seeing a play at Shakespeare Globe is by far my favorite thing we have done while there. If you visit during the season, you must see a play there. I would recommend standing in the Yard. The tickets are only 5... more

The re-creation of the Globe Theatre is very cool----well worth the time and resonable charge to visit. We went on a guided tour and found that the guide was informative and entertaining. We wish we could have seen a performance. Do your research in advance to see if you can sync up your schedule. As many have said, it would... more

I saw "As You Like It" in August at the Shakespeare's Globe theatre and is was a very nice experience. The theatre seems to be very authentic, and being open air the sunset during the play gives it a nice atmosphere. Yes, the seats are hard wooden benches but they sell cushions (or rent them, you must return them) for... more

We went to a Saturday matinee performance of Romeo & Juliet with children aged 12 & 15 and everyone had a great time. But, we had done plenty of research beforehand. If you find sitting on wooden benches uncomfortable it is definitely... more

I would say get a cushion if you can. be aware the cost of drinks during intermission....£5 for a pimms out of... more

We went for a Saturday afternoon show, Romeo and Juliette. The performance was excellent and our entire group of ten had a lovely afternoon, having a drink at the swan pre performance, seating to the left of the stage, but there are definitely a few top tips to share 1) Don't go cheap (ie £5) and go for the standing... more

unless you are made of robust stuff rent a cushion and a seat back you will enjoy the show much more and feel less tired. It may be open air but it can be hot too! more
