Why the Globe remains an electrifying space for modern performance
In short: Experience a virtual tour of London's iconic theater to understand how its unique architecture and history continue to shape the live performance experience today.
The current Shakespeare's Globe is the third iteration of the theater, yet it deliberately preserves the original architectural features and construction techniques of its predecessors. This commitment to historical accuracy creates a communal atmosphere that performers and audiences describe as deeply engaging.
The tour contextualizes the theater within London's broader history, including the impact of the Great Fire of London. It also explores how Shakespeare utilized his plays to satirize the very royalty who attended the shows, while examining how the space can evoke the atmosphere of both the Edwardian and Victorian eras.
