About Shakespeare's Globe
Set on the south bank of the River Thames, Shakespeare's Globe is a faithful timber-framed reconstruction of the 1599 open-air playhouse where William Shakespeare premiered his most famous works. Visitors come to experience classic and modern plays staged in authentic Elizabethan fashion, either standing in the open yard as 'groundlings' or seated in tiered wooden galleries. Year-round guided tours also offer a rich look into Tudor staging, architecture, and dramatic history.
