One of my favourite places. Theatre: star, sun and storm. Productions imbued with beauty and emotion and laughter. Warm, friendly staff. Wonderful education and workshop events as well.
The Mark Rylance productions are still among some of the best Shakespeare (and theatre) I've been too.
This is a beautiful space even for a visit out of season.
Mythical, you can breathe a poetic atmosphere and at the same time ... the cold humidity of the Thames!
A great institution which contributes creative productions and remains accessible to a large audience. At its best when it breaks down the Shakespeare myth.
The performance was excellent. But, I would recommend sitting tickets.
When given a "10am" ticket and told the tour would begin on time upon the ringing of a bell, no bell was ever rung. My family and I wasted a good portion of the morning waiting for nothing.
What a great experience, highly recommended. As close to the experience one might have had in Shakespeare's day with the joy of modern conveniences.
Gorgeous theater dedicated to an amazing playwright. Saw two productions and was disappointed by both. Not sure where things went wrong, but the execution of Shakespeare felt particularly crass (and he's a bit crass on his own, they didn't need to help.)
Ich habe zwar fast kein Wort verstanden, aber es war trotzdem sehenswert.
What a beautiful setting for Sara and Roberts wedding ceremony which was held in the balcony room at the Swan !
World class theatre in a truly unique venue for a fiver in the pit! What's not to like?!
Best seen while seeing a show. World class theatre and cheap if you're OK standing.
Fantastic experience. As a spectator, you will be transported to the 15th and 16th centuries. I definitely recommend buying seat tickets
Authentic and intresting place. Make sure to take a guided tour that happens every hour or so. It's worth every penny!
Amazing experience, although ambient noise during the day can make hearing the actors difficult.
I went here because my partner is obsessed with Shakespeare. The gift shop has good prices and plenty of gifts to choose from. The staff was very polite and professional, I met a funny and interesting man who was looking for some very rare notes of Shakespeare. I did not see any performance but will do it in the future. Just can tell good things about the place. The coffee was great.
Watched Twelfth Night here. A great performance. The surtitles are useful for identifying which character is speaking: particularly useful in this production where many of the male parts were played by women and vice versa.
Shakespeare's Globe is so much more than a tourist attraction. It has quickly established itself as a leader in productions of Shakespeare, his contemporaries, and new writing, with a excellent programme throughout the summer. Stand as a groundling to get right up to the action, or get a seat - but remember to bring or hire a cushion, or you'll be uncomfortable on the bare wood.
This is Not to be Missed! Plays performed in a venue just as they were in Shakespeare's day! On rare occasion they provide an even more magical day with a trilogy of 3 plays noon, 4p &8p. The staff, both volunteers and paid, could not have been more helpful! Authentic to the original Globe , standing (for only 5pound) available in the yard directly in front of the stage. The roofed seating is on bare wood benches only maybe a foot deep. Cushions can rented for a few pounds. For fans of The Bard, This is Not to be Missed!
Amazing night view of London skyline after an amazing play Othello at Shakespeare s Globe
Great version of a winter's tale, a bit of rain did nothing to dampen spirits (we were standing). Good to see vigilant staff chastising people taking phones out to take photos too (seriously?! )
My first visit to the Globe, sad really, especially as l'm a Londoner!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed "As you like it", an excellent comedy. Warning! Rent a cushion as the benches are hard and beware sitting in the sun for a three hour show......
An amazing venue with guided tours and exhibits. A great replica of the original Globe.
Best place I've ever seen a show. Ever. Absolutely magnificent building, the production was mind blowing - we were seated on the back row which I would definitely recommend. Just brilliant!
The tour was very informative and enjoyable. In the beginning, everyone got a little description in their own language, including Hungarian, to better understand the place. As a first group, there were more opportunities and space to see everything, even the special lodges. He understood the time he spent here.
Stop forced in London to enjoy an Elizabethan play. Go back in time
I'm sure fans know that the Globe theatre is open to the elements and that "groundlings" have to stand for the performance. Those under cover can hire cushions to sit on. Even so you go for the performances and atmosphere not for comfort. On this occasion I went to the Sam Wanamaker theatre for the first time. A very different theatre, great experience. Would highly recommend.
Overpriced .dreadful gift shop no passage to wander the actuel theatre without paying .all round disapointment.
Buetiful place a goodbproformance from the amazing actors
You need to know English very well because the guide speaks very fast for English and not for visitors of another language. But it is very interesting how it was rebuilt and you can also understand some of the motives of its creation by Shakespeare even if you know the English environment
A step back in time to old England. Imagine the words of time being spoken here today and they are as fresh today as then.
Beautiful reconstruction of Shakespeare's theater with a very accurate and engaging guided tour. Bravissimo Gerardo
It was very fun but it did not have that much to offer
There was Theater from Opole with Macbeth directed by M. Kleczewska.
Beautiful and stunning theatre. Macbeth was amazing!!
Enjoyable time watching Henry V. Be prepared for the hard seats! Even with the cushions you can hire, it was a tad uncomfortable.
Never ever been disappointed. Had some fabulous nights here.
They extended the museum, which looks just great and guides are very good.
Excellent tour. Jared was our guide and did a fantastic job. Very informative and engaging.
History came to life...
The children were mesmerized during the rehearsal we were allowed to watch..lovely staff..
Just go..you won t be sorry.
Amazing experience, educational and fun for any theatre lover. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable.
Very well run guided tours. I wasn't even that interested in Shakespeare but came away with a newfound appreciation of the bard. Right next to the London Eye if you can't get in there.
I was there with my class and it is amazing to see how the first plays from Shakespeare were made. We came to England from Germany and I would like to come back as soon as I can to see more of London.
Awesome. Right next to the Thames, the history that must contain that site. It is quite close to the Millennium Bridge.
Great tour. Pity they were setting up for a performance so out access was limited
The Globe is the closest we can get of what Elizabethan theatre might have been. It's a privilege.
Impressive representation of one of Shakespeare's theatres. Watch a show for a new experience of performance.
A very worthwhile tour, interesting explanations in a hilarious way
Really enjoyed the very different production of Twelfth Night even in the rain.
Very cozy restaurant, a beautiful view of the river and St Paul's cathedral. Polite and kind staff. I drank tea accompanied by a small serving of sandwiches, small sandwiches and various sweets. Understandable price-performance ratio. It's worth it if you're in London, recommended :)
A modern reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe is a fantastic place to visit and even more fantastic to take in a show.
The entrance and the river were not impressive to me. But going inside and having the tour were amazing. The tour guides described how the area looked like at Shakespeare's time and knowing details about the globe and its meaning and the plays that took place, that was impressive! Recommended for literature and history lovers.
Guided tour included in the admission ticket, useful for understanding the theater at the time of Shakespeare
This place is just amazing! The tour is great and extremely informative. The performance of Romeo & Juliet was outstanding!
We did not come in but from outside it really reminds us of years ago. It is a nice addition to the totalwalk at the southbank.
Very reasonable prices. Very patient and lovely staff!
To be honest I only went in because my wife wanted to, but I can honestly say it was one of the best guided tours we have been on. The guide was fun and made the tour interesting for everyone, even if you do not like Shakespeare's plays.
Great gastropub with amazing views of London from the river. It is connected to the Shakespeare s Globe theatre so great for a beer before or after a show. Also good for a stop if walking along the Thames.
