Globe ExhibitionThe Globe Theatre, founded by Sam Wanamaker, is a faithful reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Elizabethan playhouse. The Globe Exhibition explores the remarkable story of the theatre, and brings Shakespeare’s world to life using a range of interactive displays, live demonstrations, and a handheld audioguide. Visitors can discover how shows were produced in the playhouses of Shakespeare’s time, from writing and rehearsals to music, dance and performance.
Globe Theatre TourA visit to the exhibition includes a 30-minute guided tour of the Globe Theatre. Our expert guide-storytellers provide fascinating tours of the auditorium, vividly recreating colourful stories of the 1599 Globe playhouse, the reconstruction process in the 1990s and how the ‘wooden O’ works today as an imaginative and experimental space for performance.
Bankside & Rose TourThe Rose was Bankside’s first theatre, built in 1587, twelve years before Shakespeare’s original Globe. The Rose is the only Elizabethan playhouse that has been excavated on a large scale by archaeologists in 1989. The guided tour of the archaeological site of the Rose Theatre includes a walking tour along Bankside, highlighting the interesting historical landmarks along the way. The site today inspires actors and other artists just as it did over four hundred years ago.
