This is the land of Shakespeare and there are nearly always productions of his plays in London and in many other cities.
One of the most exciting developments in recent years is the rebuilding of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on the south bank of The Thames. Plays are produced at The Globe from Spring to Autumn (Fall).
The productions are of a very high standard. The seats around the sides are covered but there is an uncovered area immediately in front of the stage. It is rather hard on the feet and legs but worth it to have a close up view.
The building is open for the whole year. There are tours behind the scenes and there is a cafe. For more detailed information click here
2006 is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s Macbeth
There is a whole year of celebrations in Stratford with starry casts performing every one of the Bard’s plays. For detailed information click here
