Amazing theatre. Very good casting, all actors are great. They take original Shakespeare plays and turn it into something of their own. Amazing casual atmosphere and the standing tickets are quite cheap!
This place is an excellent place for British entertainment. It is very intimate and beautiful. The open ceiling is also fascinating (occasionally you can hear planes going past). The shows have plenty of diversity which I think is excellent and is instrumental in improving the world of theatre. The quality of the drama is also amazing and I would strongly recommend.
A great theater. You witness Shakespearean plays as they would have appeared in the Bards time. First class production
Very good recreation of the theater and atmosphere with excellent tour guides.
A real piece of history with fantastic plays (Not just Shakespeare!) A must visit for any theatre enthusiasts.
If you book a seated ticket, take a good sturdy cushion if you can! Shakespeare at it's best!
If you like Shakespeare then this is definitely for you loved every second
Great theatre to experience Shakespeare's brilliant performance of A Midsummers Nights Dream.
I really liked it there. I loved the design of this theatre and especially standing during performance. Even though its not easy to stand 2 hours still you don't think about it coz you enjoy the performance. Thus actors play was very convincing and you could easily believe in what they were saying
really good theatre experience. not to expensive and shows all the classics that ive always wanted to see, theres an option of standing for the whole show like in the old times or sitting like in the new times. really good but id say bring a bolanket if you want to go in the winter because there is a lack of roof.
It is the cultural center dedicated to Shakespeare with everything that the subject entails
Interesting and fun thanks to a very good guide. We need to understand English to enjoy the visit
Very pleasant and informative guide. Very reasonably priced. Was better than expected.
Plays are fantastic. Have seen more than a dozen in the past few years and haven't had a bad show yet.
It's William Shakespeare's Globe, do you need any other reason to love it?
You also get access to some behind-the-scenes spots and time in the more intimate Sam Wanamaker playhouse. Note that access to some areas may be restricted based on the performance and rehearsal schedule.Our particular tour guide, whose name I do not recall, was passionate and knowledgeable. It helped that our group was small
Fun to see. Make sure you rent a cushion and seat back. Makes the wood very comfortable.
Food was great and staff were lovely. We went for a birthday lunch, it is a lovely restaurant.
Quite interesting to see one of the first major theatres.
Brilliant tour, Ruth our guide was very good, well humoured. Lots of very interesting facts.
The Tate Modern crossing the Millennium Bridge is also a good walking course.
We took the lead through the Globe. Really recommended, not just for Shakespeare fans. Above all, the interaction with the group was great here. Throughout the informative and humorous tour, all questions were answered in addition to the actual topics. The relaxed atmosphere has ensured that even younger children had their fun. I would like to come back, but also to enjoy a performance.
It's more than a theatre. They run events and workshops for kids, there's an interesting museum and the prices are reasonable for what is a major tourist attraction.
Wanamaker's wonderful recreation of Shakespeare's original Globe theatre is all inspiring, the theatre, an open cockpit in Oak and thatch, gives a unique perspective of the Elizabethian experience of live drama and development of western theatre, built in licensious Southwark, away from the controls and restraint of the city of London ...it stands as a testament to the phesphians art.
Seeing Henry IV was a highlight of the trip. Fun atmosphere to see Shakespeare
Awesome inspirational venue, and some fantastic entertainment.
Very enlightening, historically accurate and warm entertainment.
Love it. 4 good years of bedazzled fun and still counting. I highly recommend you visit.
Lovrly reproduction of the building, informative and fun tour.
Amazing historical part of London check the globe theatre website for upcoming events and pricing an amazing place located close to the clink prison museum as well as bankside and the Tate
I dont know his name, but we had a rly funny guide with curled hairs - super
I saw magic, passion, art all by candle light with amazing passionate actors. A stunning performance of All well That Ends Well. Shakespeare was brought to life right down to the people peering over the rails of the balcony. I was taken back in time.
Terrific atmosphere in this authentic theatre. The inclusion of standing for hundreds makes the experience affordable for all.
I can actually write a review about this place. I loved everything about this place. The actual structure, atmosphere, employees, beer and of course performance. I highly recommend visiting the Globe while in the UK.
An amazing place with character and history ! The performance was remarkable, outstanding! These actors have put in a lot of hard work and you can see the results and passion which they hold !!
Worth the most !! Explanation with humor and lots of information about the period in terms of clothing, musical instruments, construction form, etc., also information about the "quads" classes that were actually in England and reflected in the clothing ...
I went to a tour of Shakespeare's Globe theatre in September 2014, and although I found it interesting, I was a little disappointed at the length of the tour. It was only about an hour long, and it wasn't as comprehensive as I expected for the price of the tour. The tour guide talked about the things you might expect, such as the history of the Globe theatres and how the performances now would have differed from in Shakespearean times. However, I got most of the learning from my own reading of the texts in the museum/exhibition part of the Globe. On the whole, it was a good experience, but there wasn't much value-added in terms of the guided tour part of the visit.
Very nice and well rebuilt theater. Well-structured guided tours
Great tour by knowledgeable guides into the history of theatre in England.
Very interesting and the guide was extraordinary nice and humorous.
Would highly recommend!
It's the Globe. Hard to find bad tickets. Just buy what you can, booking in advance is recommended but if your on a budget there are cheap tickets available the day of (10 euro I think) you just need to wait in line a bit.
As a tall person buying seat cushions was great, I should have also rented a seat back inside, it's nice to have something to lean against.
Wonderful Othello!
Terrific immersive evening. Don't hesitate.
A museum I expected otherwise has workshops for children. They do guided tours and I found it a bit boring.
We enjoyed a very colorful but interesting tour by Matt, who guided us through this beautiful replica of the original globe and told us about the building, the history of theatre and the way the globe was operated then and now. He did so with great enthusiasm and a great sense of humor, which we really appreciated. We also enjoyed the exhibition. The tour and exhibition is highly recommended, I hope to see a play in this interesting place once!
Taken to see taming of the shrew for my birthday. It was wonderful. The little troupe were very entertaining.
A truly great experience! The entire production is amazing.
The tour was great, explained the reason behind the project, the detail involved in the construction. Afterwards we had tickets for Julius Ceaser, the seats are as designed...hard! Its part if the experience but you should absolutely stand by the stage....its awesome!
Incredible experience. We had so much fun going and touring the place. We all learned about how Shakespearean theater took place and the prices of each location to sit. We had a very jolly guide and enjoyed our time very much.
We saw As you like it and loved it. Great theatre and performance. Will be back
love my walks around this area, very impressive building.
Nice to see what it was like in the time of this world famous writer. The theater's reconstruction is impressive.
A very informative tour. However I found the globe itself overrated.
It simply is a rebuilt theatre, that only gained fame through its connection to Shakespeare.
Enriching experience with a great guide. The place is splendid all under a radiant sky.
The museum could be better organized and the tour through the theatre could be more interesting.
Great guided tour but a shame you can't get tickets to see anything.
The highest quality of theater as an entertainment in the theater's homeland
Very crowded with long lines all over, make sure you don't go close to performance time.
Unique piece of British literature and theatre. While not the original Globe, there's a guided tour of the building and its construction which I found fun and fantastic! Regular shows are on showing not only Shakespeare but other traditional and contemporary work so look online to see what's on offer.
Stunning building. Worth a tour even if you can't make a show. The Shakespeare is usually very good. Worth seeing in the traditional round. However, better still are the non-traditional shows. These take advantage of the very exposed, intimate stage, creating memorable performances.
Enjoyed the theater tour and our tour guide who shared interesting information. A lot of stairs so be forewarned.
Pathetic "modern interpretation" of Shakespeares classic plays. Techno music, people pretending to be pissing dogs made me wish I didn't see Romeo and Juliet there.
A sample of how English theatre and literature developed well worth a visit
For its history, the first theater also for the vulgar
Twelfth night was a massive hit at a great venue. Highly recommended!
Amazing piece of history, loved it and highly recommend.
Superb venue for a Shakespeare play fairly authentic recreation of original playhouse.
We went to the Sam Wanamaker playhouse and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, bring so close to the play makes it so much better
We watched Romeo and Juliet as a school and it was by far the best performance I've ever seen. The actors were amazing and we'll done to the last minute stand in, she did really well. Thank you to the Globe theatre for our thrilling experience!
We had a tour and were impressed with our guide. CALLUM was so informative and professional, as well as being jovial and personable. We really enjoyed our tour. Thanks Callum! The Globe is beautiful and the staff helpful. Well worth the visit.
