Shakespeare's Globe Reviews

i can honestly not recommend it enough! the play i saw was brilliant and the staff were very helpful. the seats weren't the comfiest but i didn't expect them to be. i hope you all are considering visting as it was a wonderful experience

Official website will release 5 Euro station tickets, you can go to try your luck.

I really recommend this place. Lovely staff and Great view in the same place :)

I was taken to this place by someone who loves theater and doesn t care what my interests are. I know the historical significance of this place and my ignorance about theater doesn t discount the great value of the Globe. Please don t invite someone who has no interest in theater to this location. It is like sitting on a nails for three hours!

We had a grand time. The tour guides are the thespians that perform in the plays.

Without these around the area and you are in a hurry, at least take a look.
Now if you go with time it must be very good to try to see some of the representations that they usually offer.

it was fun and we'll informed, hope to see a play there one day

History. Did I mention history? Perhaps not the original - it was torn down - but a very well done reproduction with a great deal of thought put into making it as close as possible. To see and feel how Shakespeare's plays would have been experienced is just amazing. And the tour guide, Kaja, was fabulous.

Couldn't visit the inside but on the outside it seems nice. Maybe a quite small but for sure it makes it cozy and interesting.

Enjoyed a performance of The Merry Wives of Windsor. We took advantage of the 5 pound Standing Room tickets. The performance was entertaining and the theatre enjoyable.
Beware: 2.5 hours of standing (especially after a day of touring) is difficult on the back and feet. I believe seats were priced from about 20 pounds on up.

i saw macbeth at the globe theatre was blown away by the incredible acting, the amazing location and the beautiful weather also helped!

I was in The Swan Resto. Amazing views, food, service and artwork.

Quintessential theatre experience. Although you can book tours, the best way to experience the globe is to attend a performance. However, the shows sell out quickly best to book the tickets 3-4 month in advance.

No experience like it. Try the standing area for a performance; such an intimate experience

Great show with awesome crowd interaction. The only way to see Shakespeare.

Fun tour. Great to hear about the history and rebuild.

To those who like the Theater and part of its history, I recommend experiencing this space!

Along the river. Nice place with good views. Starbucks is around the corner. You can watch performances if you are able to understand the old English language. :)

Would have given 5 stars, but am not impressed about the fact that i cant look around the shop today to kill time before my show starts at 3 (sonnet sunday).

Loved it! The theatre is amazing and gives you a real sense of what a theatre show would be like in Tudor times. Beautiful building. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We watch A Midsummers night dream. Which was fantastic. Can't wait to go again.

Was cool. Definitely recommend you get a tour to see the inside.

On thursday evening, I attended a play (much ado about nothing)that was just great! One of my best theatre experience in my life! The comedy was very funny, and the actors were brilliant.
The building is the reproduction of the old globe, and you can imagine yourself at the Elizabethan time.

If you can understand old English - a fantastic experience!

The tour and museum were fascinating! Excellent info, especially for the inexpensive price.

Great tour guide, very knowledgeable, passionate and funny. worth doing the tour

"Othello" in the Globe. Iago was fantastic! Great cast all round.

This is one of my favourite places in London. It's feels like you have stepped back in time, they've created a great atmosphere where you can really picture what it would have been like in Elizabethan times. I highly recommend at least watching one show in the 'pit' - you feel more engaged with the actors, almost part of the action in some shows! They have cushions for hire if you are in seats (a good idea as the wooden seats get a bit....err...uncomfortable if sat for more than an hr). A lot of the nearby restaurants have theatre deals and you can bring in your own food (*not verified, we did and no-one told us off).

Watched The Taming of the Shrew. It was very well acted with live music.

Highly recommend any play at the globe! Simply amazing! If you have a bad back or not as young as you used to be, get a seat in the back row. It's bench seating, but the back rows are against a wall and have good views. They also have seating in the balcony with proper back support. If you come to London, and the outdoor theater is closed for the season, see a play in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse next to the box office.

Great experience. Lovely tour guide. Also privileged to be able to view a technical rehearsal for Macbeth.

Unique setting and still very much fun if you were standing. If you can do that for a few hours.

Our 2nd visit. Really great tour guides and unique experience. Don't say MacBeth!

A wonderful experience. Polite staffing, precision organisation and a.truly fabulous cast in Othello yesterday. It was my first visit to The Globe but won't be my last! THANK YOU.

Wondeful experience, you have to do the tour. So amazing stepping back into time. Loved every minute of it!

Since the Globe Theatre reconstruction opened for performances in 1997, Shakespeare's Globe has welcomed visitors from all over the world to take part in workshops, lectures and staged readings; to visit the exhibition and tour the Globe More

Our guide was fantastic, but it was too cold to stay out for more than an hour..great talent

Educational and fun touring to know more about the history of theatre and drama.

Shakespeare's work is evergreen and ubiquitous, part of the culture and language - not just English.

I had the most wonderful time here in the upper seated section. I have never actually watched a show here before and saw taming of the shrew. I would warn anyone who's tall that the front row of the seated section has very little leg room so be prepared to sit at an angle!

Always a pleasure to come here. Beautiful venue, fantastic bar and restaurants. And of course the world class performances. My advice would be to plan your visit to take full advantage of the whole experience, book a meal, have a drink at the bar or cafe, see a show.

I hope it looks like the original globe, because if it didn't, then that would be bad.

Best seats are back rows in the lower gallery. Rent a cushion :-)

Just loved being able to stand where Shakespeare did so many years ago. Such a magnificent building with a serene atmosphere.

Not as good as I expected, but good for people who enjoy old plays and things like that!

Difficile pour des visiteur qui ne maitrise pas parfaitement l anglais

Surtout pour des enfants

Came here to see Romeo and Juliet in the summer season. Didn't realise it was going to be a modern spin on the play but, it was great. Highly entertaining.

a place out of time, if you have the chance to see a show the room is lit by candle ^^ By cons when they tell you that from the cheapest places standing at the top of the upper gallery the vision is incomplete it's true! We do not see half of the stage, so prefer the places below or those in front of the stage.

If you're interested in how plays are conducted back in the days, this will be a good place. Otherwise it doesn't hold much. Not the actual site, as it burned down. Plays still go on here

It was amazing to see a play here. Great show a. Incredible assembly. You have to visit it while in London.

Love everything about it especially the unique atmosphere created by the building.

So affordable and such a great experience. Great location for dinner before hand.

The actors are professionals and their modern adaptation is very fun

Cheap tickets are great, but the standing did get tiring. Actress who played Hamlet was brilliant.

A piece of history in London. The Shakespeare's Globe is an open-air theater. We have attended a performance of the piece "The Two Noble Kinsmen". A beautiful spectacle with enthusiastic actors. Make sure you know what it is about because English is not so easy to understand.

We did the guided tour, even if it is a recent and very interesting reconstruction. Worth the ticket price.

Terrific venue. There's no excuse for not going there because on a good day a standing ticket at the front is less than a Big Mac meal!
