Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Review
This faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse where Shakespeare worked and wrote many of his greatest plays marvelously re-creates the 16th-century theatergoing experience. Standing room in the yard or "pit" right in front of the stage costs £5. The season runs April through October. A replica Jacobean (early-17th-century) indoor theater is being constructed next to the Globe, and should open in winter 2013/2014.
