Shakespeare's Globe
Bankside · South London
Shakespeare's Globe is the Bankside theatre complex best known for its open-air Globe Theatre, a modern reconstruction opened in 1997. The Globe auditorium offers standing places in the yard and seating in surrounding galleries, with Shakespeare, other drama and varied events across its programme. Tours provide another way to experience the site when available. This listing centres on the Globe Theatre; the indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is a separate venue within the same complex and requires its own event booking.
