What else is on at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre?

Immerse yourself in Shakespeare's Comedy

Welcome to a luxurious paradise in the Globe Theatre this summer as love in its many forms is celebrated in Shakespeare’s timeless comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.

After years of war, an idyllic Italian town is finally back in bloom. But young lovers Claudio and Hero, and sparring singletons Beatrice and Benedick, soon discover that all is not as it seems in their beautiful surrounds as they become entangled in a series of mischievous games, pranks and plots.

Watching at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Allow yourself to be transported back to the medieval 1500's, a time of political upheaval, strongly religious atmospheres, social change, and incredible theatre. Immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare, and enjoy his plays just the same as those in medieval times did.

The theatre is inspired and informed by the unique historic playing conditions of two beautiful iconic theatres, this diverse programme of work harnesses the power of performance, cultivates intellectual curiosity and excites learning to make Shakespeare accessible for all.
