It's been quite a while since we went, not even sure if it's still open, but I would Definitely go again if another show was as good as Richard III. The globe is made up of almost all scaffolding but it felt safe enough. It also of course has the pit, but be prepared to get blood splatters and stuff on you down there! They had drinks and chips and stuff in stalls outside of the Globe. Lit well too.
Oh gosh, this was so much fun. Best rendition if Shakespeare ever! That photo is from the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. Epic! Even my 7-year old enjoyed it.
Hilarious, unique, entertaining good times at the pop-up globe.
I went to much ado about nothing it is not your average presentation, it s both true to the original and modern, for the fantastic Pacific Island flavour and modern gigs that Shakespeare would love I m sure.
Go early, take food, get a drink, type of crowd.
The season ends soon, go while you can!
Fantastic experience. It was always on my bucket list to go to a Pop up Globe theater and it surely paid off! I loved it! Such a unique experience. Took the $10 standing ticket. Bear in mind these concerts are 3 hours so wear comfy shoes NOT heels haha.
Absolutely amazing performance of Much Ado About Nothing! It just got better and better as the show went on. Great theatre, very good value for money, especially if you want to stand in the groundlings. Great cast, fantastic adaptation and great variation added to this classic.
An amazing take on a historical play. So well acted, original, authentic perspective on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Standing as a groundling let me have a unique opportunity to have the actors running between us, and getting covered in blood splatter (machine washable) and water was totally different and I LOVED every minute of it!
I can't speak highly enough! We went to see Much Ado About Nothing. It was superb.
The actors were terrific and funny. The engagement with the audience was total.
The venue itself is fantastic, we were seated in the lower level, the view of the action on stage was great even though we were quite far off to the side. The people standing were having a great time, but I didn't want to stand for that long.
Facilities were good and theatre staff were really helpful and efficient.
Definitely make the time to visit and enjoy a show before it is gone.
An awesome evening at the theatre spent in the company of my daughter.
Go go go while you still have the chance to experience Shakesperian theatre in as close-to-original conditions as you can possibly get. I've seen two here now in the last year, and my absolute favourite was Measure for Measure. If you think Shakespeare is hard to follow or boring or pointy-headed, then this will definitely change your mind! I love the intimacy of this space, where the actors and you can eyeball each other.
This was my fourth visit to the Pop Up Globe in Ellerslie. What a fabulous venue for seeing some culture and such great ambiance. You really feel you are back in Shakespeare's time. So sad it's being pulled down as ''Emilia' is the last play to be performed there.
Everything was beautiful!! The staff was very nice and the show was fantastic I went to see time I and Juliet and it was one of the best I've seen, they take a fun twist on it. Overall a great experience
