GLOBE THEATRE LONDON

Globe Touring - Romeo and Juliet

For the first time in four hundred years a travelling company will be heading off around the country from the Globe Theatre.
In Shakespeare’s time actors often toured plays to country houses, inns and town halls all over the UK. The players regularly left London; sometimes due to playhouse closure to prevent the spread of plague or according to government bans, sometimes simply to extend the life of a new play. This summer, our actors will be emulating the experience of Elizabethan players, taking all the equipment they need and adapting the play to a wealth of glorious venues. Suitable for people of all ages, the arrival of the players will recreate the excitement and vivacity of an Elizabethan travelling performance.
Pack your picnic rug and sun-cream (or waterproofs and a hot toddy) and join our troupe of travelling players at a venue near you. Played with all the breakneck excitement and youthful exuberance of the play itself, this open-air production will be staged by eight performers and last under two-and-a-half hours.
Prices and performance times vary. Contact venues for details and tickets.Book early to avoid disappointment (The show will go ahead even in the rain).
