Shakespeare's Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Reviews
 Aug 03, 2006Reconstruction took about 10 years and more than 40 millions of pounds were spent for it. Now “Globe” houses the professional drama group, staging the plays by Shakespeare. There is an exhibition hall, adjacent to the theatre. This hall represents information about performed reconstruction works as well has displays, animating the Shakespeare’s work. By the way, this year a festival, dedicated to all plays by Shakespeare started, since in 2006 we have the 390th anniversary of the death of this famous playwright. It is the first festival of theatre production of all his books and the name points to this fact - The Complete Works. The festival lasts the whole 2006 year and implies shows and plays on various theatre stages of Stratford-on-Avon city – the city where Shakespeare was born and died. |

The Globe is a reconstruction of the Elizabethean threatre were many of Shakespeare's plays were performed. Overlooking the Thames, just steps from the Millenium Bridge, the site offers a true theatrical experience under the stars, as part of the structure is open to the elements. The best seats in the house can be yours for the sum of £5 if you are willing to stand for the performance. Our favorite spot was leaning right against the stage! The actors put on a great show almost leading one to believe they are speaking everyday English. Shows only run in the summer but be sure to dress warmly as it can be cool.

…it’s the fact that this building was used as the set for the wizards’ bank ‘Gringotts’ in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ - nice information anyway.
In the afternoon we visited the colourful Shakespeare Globe Theatre and went for a little walk around the centre. … Yes, in the end we definitely deserved another big dinner including varied fried treats and just a handful of peas. ;-) … From here to there ... |

The Shakespear Globe Theatre was just across the river, so I decided to make those my three main stops. St. Paul's and the Globe would have gotten put on hold had the ticket sellers for Romeo and Juliet accepted my offer of 7 pounds rather… London - England, United Kingdom |
