Shakespeare's Globe Theatre | Live Events in Bankside, London

Capture the spirit of live entertainment with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre tickets. The Elizabethan-style landmark stands in London, on the south bank of the River Thames, and is the third incarnation of the original 1599 theater founded by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, a company co-owned by William Shakespeare. After fires damaged the original building in two separate incidents, it was shuttered for centuries. However, in 1970, actor and founder of the Shakespeare Charitable Trust, Sam Wanamaker, worked to re-open the venue. Since then, it has remained a mecca for presentations of classic plays like Richard III and Much Ado About Nothing.

The theater is an open-air structure that can accommodate 1,570 seated patrons. It is designed in the shape of a twenty-sided polygon, and the stage (as well as seats in the two upper tiers) is covered with a thatched roof. The seats on the central yard are uncovered. Its water-reed thatched covering allows for increased ventilation. However, due to fire restrictions in London, the venue is the only structure with such a roof. You can be there to see a concert, play or film screening with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre tickets. The building is made of oak and lime plaster, and events are held regardless of weather conditions in this unique 360-degree performance space.
