“Oak-and-thatch replica of original Elizabethan theatre, showing Shakespeare plays in the open air. ”

“Shakespeare's Globe is the complex housing a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse associated with William Shakespeare, in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames. The original theatre was built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern Globe Theatre reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. It is considered quite realistic, though contemporary safety requirements mean that it accommodates only 1400 spectators compared to the original theatre’s 3000. ”

“MBNA Thames Clippers runs the fastest fleet of catamarans on the river, so it’s a super-speedy way to travel through London in style. You can catch a boat from Bankside Pier near the Tate Modern on the South Bank and travel west on the water to the Tate Britain in Pimlico for a day of art galleries. There’s a bar onboard if you want to take things up a notch.”

“Have seen some fantastic plays here. Standing tickets are only £5! If you're sitting, it's well worth renting a cushion. Interesting museum next door.Check out the website.”

“Shakespeare's Globe. On the South Bank of the Thames sits Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Thanks to the vision Sam Wanamaker, you can enjoy world renowned plays in an authentic Shakespearean setting. ”
