Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London Bewertungen 

Although just like all tourists traps in london, yes it was a bit of a rip off like 10 jelly sweets for £3 or a bottle of still water £2.50. But the play is worth the payment i had a superb time, saw mutch ado about nothing and it was one of the best plays i have seen, my opinion a must play 9/10.

Our guide, Llyr (apologies for any spelling error) really made this tour worthwhile. He was as irreverent as he was knowledgeable. The theatre is a wonder and the gift shop is also fabulous. Thankyou!

Saw the Tempest in January, and was bemused by the unhinged interpretation of one of the Bard's plays. It also started late. Also saw A Midsummer Night's Dream in the summer there, and the actors didn't project their voices enough so that people further back couldn't hear what they were saying, which is crucial given the archaic language and speed of delivery necessary to keep the flow of the plot.

I have just placed my first ever order for tickets to see a play at Shakespeare's Globe theatre and was shocked to see that the theatre had surreptitiously added £13 to the already expensive tickets as a 'voluntary donation'. I am shocked to have been tricked into such an additional payment that I was completely unaware of and which I certainly did not consent to during the ticketing process. Beware!

Myself and wife had the the tour with cockney mick , and he was fantastic, you can see the real passion for the craft and Shakespeare himself and we look forward to coming back soon to watch a performance.

I saw A Midsummer Night’s Dream in July 2026 and it was one of the best plays I have ever seen. Beautiful, funny, and well-performed. It was great to see actors of different ages, races, gender identities and sexuality. It makes people feel seen. Thank you for keeping tickets at an accessible price (I got mine for £10)!

I went to see” Mid Summer Night Dream” with my daughter yesterday, January 9, 2026. Was hopping to have a lovely Shakespeare play. It was ugliest, over sexual, demonic performance. I left after first act. And I saw other people leave as well. It is the first time I believe, that I did anything like that at the life show. Please keep your children away from that theater 🙏 Philippians 4:8

I really enjoyed our tour today. Tyler was a great tour guide, and we were blessed to see part of a tech rehearsal.

Everytime I see a show here I am always amazed, entertained, and my passion reignited for theatre.

My wife and I are in our late 70s. We are fit for our age and don’t have hearing difficulties. We were greatly looking forward to seeing Twelfth Night at the Globe and were impressed by the authenticity of the stage and the Elizabethan seating/standing arrangements. But we were quickly disillusioned as soon as the show started as whenever an actor turned away from us, we just could not hear the dialogue. The acoustics are terrible. We were seated as opposed to standing and it became obvious that those standing very close to the stage had by far the best experience. Several families around us left early and after an hour, we left too. It was a great disappointment and a considerable waste of money. It would be easily solved by using appropriate technology to do what most theatres do today to allow everyone to hear what is being said. Being traditional is fine, but only if it works!

I was post knee operation and using crutches. Alistair and Lyn approached us and offered to take us to our seats using a lift. They not only escorted us to our seats but returned to us at the interval and when the play was over. This attention was unexpected and greatly appreciated.

Went to see Romeo & Juliet. Was looking forward to seeing this interpretation. Sadly it wasn't for us. Shouting Shakespeare does not translate me the spoken word. It felt Iambic pentameter had been misunderstood. Juliet was far removed from a sensitive, young 13 year old on the brink of exciting romantic love- think more boardy pub landlady. Romeo lacked lustre for us and often when characters marched to the other side of the stage the projection was lost for us on the other side. It embraces the bawdy audience of days gone by but sadly lacked emotion and substance. Left after first half.

The theatre allowed women with exceptionally young babies as part of the audience: this diverts attention from the action on the stage as the young children frequently cry.
But the Management demands that mobile phones are switched off or put on silence.
Next time I'll book for a performance at my local creche

Paid £28 for 'standing' room for two places to see Hansel and Gretal. However me and my child couldn't see much of it, as there were people standing any and everywhere. When we finally did find somewhere to stand and could see the play, we were told we 'need to move as the actors need to come in and out from that area'. Play was also nothing like was advertised. Actors not wearing anything remotely resembling costumes for the play, and the play was not the fairytale I remember. Very odd experience. Would not recommend and certainly wont be returning.

I have been going to the Globe for years to see plays, but last week did not even resemble a shakespeare play, the Actors were like trainees forgetting their lines,stupid costumes and puppets that had nothing to do with play, lots of swearing loudly, with children in the audience, very disappointed, seeing as i had seen this play a few years ago in period costume at the globe and it was splendid, great Actors and funny.
Who ever is modernising these plays needs to re think what they are doing because you will loose customers especially tourists from abroad who come to see the real Shakespeare plays not some silly farce.
I will not be visiting again.

Great theatre with wooden benches and standing in the round tickets. You can pay extra for a cushion and blanket. Lots of helpful staff and volunteers around. Antony and Cleopatra was bilingual- spoken English and BSL. Interesting and intriguing performance with a great cast. Benches can be hard on the legs and back. Glad I paid for a cushion. Used Blackfriars Tube Station for the first time which is a five minute walk from the theatre.

We have been going to the Globe for 21 years, and until Friday, have never felt the need to walk out of a performance. We went to see The Taming of the Shrew, and the production was truly awful. Music too loud, actors mumbling, odd set and incomprehensible staging, plus characters not in the original text. Also, far too much profanity, especially for the children in the audience. What a disappointment.
However, the staff were, as always, helpful and lovely, so that's something!

Volunteer staff lovely - paid staff in box office staff rude and unhelpful. Over priced and seating very uncomfortable.

Have seen better school plays. Voices not projected well, esp. the narrator. Could not hear most of it. Waste of money. Several groups walked out at the interval.

Went to watch Hansel and Gretel today Christmas Eve. I read some really poor reviews so was not looking forward to it, but honestly it was fantastic. We were standing in the stalls and we throughly enjoyed it. I would recommend.
