Credo ReferenceAugust 22, 2011Henry VIII, by William Shakespeare: OK, so the play wasn't set here...but the play was being performed when Shakespeare's famous stomping ground caught on fire.
Elvira PoitersApril 8, 2019Not worth the money. “Tour” just takes you to the outside courtyard and there you stay for 45min. Dont get to see anything else: no gallery, no costumes. They closed all of that to the public.
Stephine Sison-CallantaFebruary 27, 2011i pray that the younger generation of today can look back and ask themselves if they know who Shakespeare is. A lot would claim they do, but truth is, they don't!
Geoff WakelingApril 16, 2010Go & watch a play in the Globe. Awesome atmosphere, and remarkably cheap if standing in the yard Read more
Make sure you stand in the Yard for £5. Gallery seating is very fun, but terrible lack of legroom if you're over 6 feet tall. Macbeth is an awesome production.
Margaret PerkinsJuly 23, 2010I saw Othello, but did not stand where the groundlings did - had gallery seating.. fantastic performance
Margarida CostaJune 24, 2013Well, if it wasn't for the rehearsals happening at the time, it sure would not be worth the money for the tour! ;(
Hostelling InternationalAugust 9, 2011Plays at the Globe Theatre are pretty good, and fun. - Naomi, (Canada)
Carol ChanAugust 6, 2010Watch out, their staff can be very snobby! One commanded me to move away from the cushion table 'now!' in an awful and disgraceful way! Other than this, it was a fine experience.

"Lovely place to read! You can pick any of the common areas outside the theatres. The lighting over the tables is excellent for working, even in areas that look very dark before trying the tables."

"Nice theater, with a lot of stairs... I enjoyed the show"
M Aldoss ♏ - 8.4
"The tiered seating makes it very intimate. Every seat has a great view of the stage. If there was a bit more space in the seats it would be perfect."
