What else is on at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre?

Experience The Elizabethan era with The Comedy of Errors

Back by popular demand, get ready to experience ‘the Globe at its most joyous’ as the production of The Comedy of Errors makes a triumphant return this summer.

Be transported back to Elizabethan London as the Globe transforms into a bustling dock – complete with ship masts and piers – where Shakespeare’s wild comedy about rival cities, long-lost siblings and mistaken identities comes to ‘brisk, boisterous and rib-tickling’ life (The Times) with ‘boundless energy and slapstick silliness’!

Travel back in time 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.
