Shakespeare's island-bound drama returns to the Globe this summer, for the first time in seven years! Enthralling and immersive, The Tempest is the tale of shipwreck and sorcery on a spell-binding isle, ruled over by the vengeful Prospero, and his unerring determination to wreak havoc on his former oppressors.

From tropical shipwrecks to yellow stockings, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare's battiest and most memorable comedies and a season at the Globe is rarely complete without an outing. A perfect introduction to The Bard for newcomers, it contains some of his classic devices, including cross-dressing, confused lovers, zany servants and merry song leading to a highly pleasing finale.

When the fairy King and Queen quarrel, no one is safe from their fervour, setting the scene for a witty and vibrant comedy of romance, mischief and magic that enchant audiences of all ages from the first line. Considered the finest of Shakespeare's comedies, join the Globe as they once again stage the wonderful world that is A Midsummer Night's Dream in London and on tour in 2020!

One of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, this also has its darker moments. Two couples are dancing around declaring their love for each other; Benedick and Beatrice, and Hero and Claudio. But when the machinations of a dastardly nobleman threaten their happiness, one of our heroes must fake their own death in order to get a truly happy ending.

Michelle Terry continues her groundbreaking tenure at the Globe Theatre with a hotly anticipated production of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Forming part of the Summer 2020 at the Globe season programming, the new staging of the poem sees resident writers Sami Ibrahami, Laura Lomas and Sabrina Mahfouz, and directors Sean Holmes and Holly Race Roughan, employ a 400-year-old method to inform the work, writing to fit it not only to the architecture of the iconic venue but to the 12-member ensemble as well - replicating just what the Bard would have done in his day.
