What to expect

Seeing a Shakespeare play in London in the 17th century wasn't a polite experience. Audiences would shout and scream their opinions. Shakespeare's new works jostled for attention with bear baiting on the banks of the River Thames. The original theatre - the Globe - is long gone. A new Shakespeare's Globe has arisen, painstakingly reproducing the original theatre and constructed entirely of English oak. Your tour of Shakespeare's Globe and Exhibition - best booked in advance to avoid queues - vividly re-creates the bawdy atmosphere of a 17th century performance. An enthralling exhibition completes one of the world's finest Shakespeare shows.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and its exhibition take you back to a time when the playwright's plays were performed in front of a rowdy audience, jostling for the best spot on the banks of the Thames, where competing entertainments pitted bears against dogs. The Shakespeare's Globe has been carefully reconstructed using the same materials as the original from the 17th century. It features English oak for the structure and a thatched roof, the only one allowed in London since the Great Fire of 1666 - this one, for your information, is fireproof!

This reconstruction is the work of actor and director Sam Wanamaker, who insisted that the Globe be exactly like the original. The triumphant result is the outcome of one man's vision. The great English works are more alive than ever; you are transported - with the help of audioguides available in several languages - right into the heart of a performance.

The guided tour of the theater and the fascinating exhibition of Shakespeare's Globe is more enjoyable when booked in advance. This avoids queuing, and you can enjoy the view from the stage, overlooking the enthusiastic audience, standing outdoors. The exciting Shakespeare exhibition is included with your ticket. It provides a fascinating insight into Shakespeare and his work.
