About

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened in 1997. The Globe is a reconstruction of an open-air theatre designed in 1599.

The 'wooden O' honours the 16th-century theatre: audience members can purchase a standing ticket and be a "groundling." Find out more about Shakespeare's Globe in London.

Shakespeare's Globe is also home to a second indoor theatre, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. It is named after the organisation's founder, American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, father of Zoe Wanamaker.
