Last August we had the pleasure of going to the Globe as tourists and to see a production of HELEN. I'm glad that we took the time to go see this wonderful piece of history. We considered getting tickets on the floor to experience the mob atmosphere, but we ended up getting tickets in the gallery. The view was great though the seating was hard. I highly suggest sucking up the pound and renting a cushion for the duration of the play. This was one of those experiences that I will never forget!

We stopped by the Shakespeare Globe Theatre on a Friday just to take a look at its rebuilt structure with the thatched roof. What we found is that it was opening weekend for the season in April and they were showing Romeo and Juliet - the classic and most famous Shakespeare play. At 15 pounds per person, it was a "no-brainer" to book reservations for their Sunday performance.

We got front row seats in the top section - it was a side view with some obstructions but it was worth seeing the atmosphere and was very enjoyable. The structure of all wood seating and full standing room on the bottom floor gave the feel of the original theatre as if we watched during the old days. The play was fantastic as you don't often get a chance to watch one of the most beloved Shakespeare plays in a place built to match its original performance.

If you're there outside of summer, make sure you bring a sweater as it gets cold at night!

The only thing I recommend to people visiting London

My wife and I have traveled to London before or after visiting with family in the York area and seeing a play at Shakespeare Globe is by far my favorite thing we have done while there. If you visit during the season, you must see a play there. I would recommend standing in the Yard. The tickets are only 5 pounds and you are seeing the best Shakespearian Actors in the world. The yard provides the best "seats" right in front of the stage. You will have to stand for the duration, but many people brought in snacks and sat and had an impromptu picnic during intermission. We saw "Comedy of Errors" and it was laugh out loud funny. If you are not familiar with Shakespeare (Like us) I think that a comedy is easier to appreciate, but I haven't seen a drama so this might be poppycock. We are traveling there again in October 2009 and I already have my tickets for "Love's Labour Lost". A MUST DO.

The re-creation of the Globe Theatre is very cool----well worth the time and resonable charge to visit.

We went on a guided tour and found that the guide was informative and entertaining.

We wish we could have seen a performance. Do your research in advance to see if you can sync up your schedule. As many have said, it would be quite painful to stand for a whole performance---so get a seat and rent a cushion. The benches were hard after 10 minutes of sitting---I can't imagine two hours worth. Also, in the open pit---you could be exposed to rain, etc. which I understand they do not stop for.

Enjoy!

I saw "As You Like It" in August at the Shakespeare's Globe theatre and is was a very nice experience. The theatre seems to be very authentic, and being open air the sunset during the play gives it a nice atmosphere. Yes, the seats are hard wooden benches but they sell cushions (or rent them, you must return them) for a pound, and honestly I didn't use one and was fine. And if you really want a cheap night, the groundling tickets are just five pounds and those people really seemed to be enjoying the fact that they could practically reach out and touch the performers.

Take the millenium bridge back to St. Paul's tube station to beat the crowds after the play is over.
