The play by Shakespeare made us realize what made this famous playwrite so popular in his time: it was highly entertaining, funny, full of humor and superbly played. Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the atmosphere of the globe theater and immerse themselves into the story.

A theatre performance at the Globe is a true feast for the senses. It’s a unique feeling to watch Shakespeare in his own theatre, on the very stage it was, so to speak, written for. A one-of-a-kind atmosphere in a one-of-a-kind theatre. I’ve never experienced anything like it! An unforgettable experience.

Enjoyed the Globe experience thoroughly. Engaging and entertaining from start to finish. It captured what it's meant to do, the spirit of the time the play was written in a brilliant environment that encouraged playing along with the troupe.

Twelfth Night, or What You Will is, perhaps, one of Shakespeare's most hilarious comedies that blends mistaken identities with a series of unfortunate events. Despite being regarded as one of the greatest dramatic playwrights thanks to his tragedies, the writer was just as gifted - if not more - in the arena of wit and humor, and this play is regarded as one of his best.

Illyria is alive with festivities, but unbeknown to the townsfolk, a storm approaches in the form of the shipwrecked maiden, Viola. Believing her brother to be dead and needing a good cover, she disguises herself as Cesario, a servant to Orsino, the latter deeply in love with Olivia, who accidentally falls for Cesario instead. On the sidelines, yet another plot brews around Malvolio. Soon enough, the cards are all tumbling down, and the tale of mistaken identities blows wide open.
