The C&TH Guide to the Globe Theatre

It’s a venue which needs no introduction. Home to some of the greatest plays ever written and the most world-renowned and revolutionary writer, Shakespeare’s Globe is a must-visit…

Iconically nestled on the south bank of the River Thames, the reconstructed open-air playhouse – the original model unfortunately burned down in 1613 – transports audiences back to Elizabethan England, with its ‘wooden ‘O’, half-timbered-style architecture and award-winning Shakespearean performances. From a contemporary take on Richard III, to exclusive guided tours of the Globe, explore the world of William Shakespeare with our guide to London’s most iconic theatre…

What’s On at The Globe?

Henry VI

Based on the late 16th Century Shakespearean play, Henry VI follows the turbulent rule of the former King of England and the political turmoil which ensued with the historic War of the Roses. Be warned: in true Shakespearen style, the play is 3 hours and 15 minutes long, but does include two intervals. We recommend booking seats. 7 – 26 January. Standing tickets £10, seated £20, shakespearesglobe.com

Richard III

Deemed one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays (and apparently having ‘heavily influenced’ Game of Thrones), Richard III is given a contemporary twist in this enthralling Globe Theatre production – namely that the King is being played by a woman, actress Sophie Russell. Witness the short-term tempestuous rule of Richard III in a whole new light. Until 26 January. Standing tickets £10, seated £20, shakespearesglobe.com

Swive [Elizabeth]

From award-winning playwright Ella Hickson and director Natalie Abrahami comes a brand new play following the reign of the high-powered ‘Virgin Queen’, Elizabeth I. An exploration of female power and ‘patriarchal pressure’, this is a play set deeply in the past, but which very much appeals to the present. Until 15 February. Standing tickets £10, seated £20, shakespearesglobe.com

Notes to the Forgotten She-Wolves

20 female and non-binary writers are taking to the Globe in an extraordinary ‘cacophony of forgotten voices’. Featuring the likes of Sandi Toksvig, Stella Duffy and playwright Winsome Pinnock, Notes to the Forgotten She-Wolves sheds light on the women whose histories have been past misinterpreted. 29 January – 19 February. Standing tickets £10, seated £20, shakespearesglobe.com
