Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Tour and Exhibition, London

Shakespeare's Globe London was founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wannamaker and has become one of London's most successful theatres and a top London attraction in its own right.

Built in 1599, the original building that housed Shakespeare's theatre in London was an open-air playhouse where the playwright penned many of his greatest plays. This modern building is a faithful reconstruction of the Globe and perfectly evokes the atmosphere of Elizabethan London (albeit with more modern facilities for theatregoers!)

Resident storytellers on the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Tour And Exhibition introduce visitors to all aspects of the Globe, historical and contemporary, including Sam Wannamaker's epic struggle to recreate the theatre for which Shakespeare wrote many of his works.
