It is a modern take on a Shakespeare's classic. They mostly used current english language wirh some reception switching tò Shakespeare's originale text during Key and importante scenes. It was funny and staying in the yard gives a full experience of the event with actors appearing suddemlt in the audience.

The actors were fantastic and the music and costumes were as well. I loved the kitschy choreography! The theater has been maintained beautifully and is a historical tribute to Shakespeare's time period. We had a memorable experience there and hope to return someday.

The weather held out!!! We had standing tickets, you had to stand for two hours which didn't feel as bad it sounds. The performance was great, but more projection required for some of the actors. My first insite to Shakespeare and I really enjoyed it.

We live coming to the Globe. The productions are always fresh and creative, and the acting is excellent. We love the way the actors use the pit and maximize the comedy and accessibility of the plays. Just SO much fun. See you next year!

I felt so lucky to get to be a foot from the stage for this performance, and for just 12 pounds!! I was so close to the performers that they even made eye contact with me for an entire scene. It was sooooo cool. Highly recommend!

The theater was amazing. We had standing tickets and I think the best because we were right at the stage. Totally immersive experience. The actors and music were wonderful and the play/writing still relevant today.
