We saw Romeo and Juliet at the Globe. It was wonderful. The staging is different than any other production I have seen elsewhere. The acting was excellent. The theater is outdoors, though most seats are covered. They are wood benches. It was cold for late April, but we survived. It is definitely a must see. Get tickets in advance.

What a fabulous experience! Llyr was a brilliant tour guide. He took us through life in Elizabethan times, the history of the Globe and Shakespeare's plays as they were presented originally and in the current Globe in a thoroughly entertaining way. A really interesting and funny tour led very ably and humorously by Llyr, would definitely recommend!

Unfortunately very underwhelming. There was a production crew from Netflix scouting the theatre for an upcoming project so we, the people who paid full price to have a complete tour, were not “permitted” to enter in certain areas (mainly the one that leads to the stage, arguably the most interesting part of the tour). I paid £27 to not get the full experience, because Netflix almighty was there and they clearly matter more than the Globe’s paying customers. They didn’t even bother to let me know beforehand so I could make an informed decision on whether to do the tour or not, probably because they didn’t want to risk losing out on sales (which they absolutely would have — I would not have paid for this tour if I’d known it was going to be a limited experience), nor did they offer a discount or any form of compensation for double booking conflicting activities. Disrespectful behaviour that left me quite disappointed.
This tour in London is organized by Shakespeare's Globe
