"A historic theater associated with William Shakespeare, offering performances for Shakespeare enthusiasts."
"Shakespeare's Globe, which opened in 1997 and is an approximation of the original Globe and virtually on the same site, gives visitors a chance to witness his plays..." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"In London, every building and street has history. And Shakespeare's Globe, although a reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre—where many of William Shakespeare's plays were first staged and which burned down in 1613 during a performance of 'Henry VIII'—is no exception. The theater was rebuilt not far from its original site, using construction methods and materials as close to the original as possible, and to watch a performance here is to step back in time with the Royal Shakespeare Company." - Ramsay Short, Sonya Barber
"If you hope to see a Shakespearean play performed well, the Globe is the place to hit. Shakespeare’s Globe is a beautiful structure inspired by the original Elizabethan playhouse where the Bard first staged his plays. Open since 1997 on London’s South Bank, the theater offers both classical and contemporary productions across two spaces. The main auditorium was created to resemble the original Globe Theatre with an open-top roof, standing tickets, and traditional bench seating. Performances happen no matter the weather, and if you’re prepared to get wet, standing tickets in the Yard cost about $6.50. Those keen to learn a little more can also take an informative backstage tour and explore the theater’s exhibition." - MATADOR_NETWORK
