It is difficult to imagine that until 1997, one of the greatest playwrights in the world, indeed, one who lived and worked in London, did not have a memorial here. It took the efforts of the late Sam Wanamaker, who founded The Shakespeare Globe Trust in 1970, to accomplish this goal. Sadly, construction on the Globe Theatre was not finished until after his death in 1993.
Once construction on the Globe Theatre was completed in June of 1997, it debuted an impressive opening season of Shakespeare's Henry V and The Winter's Tale. Each season following has been greeted with much acclaim. However, the theater is much more than just a performance center. The Globe Education Centre is devoted to students seven months out of the year, with courses for students and teachers from the UK and abroad. Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition opened on February 3, 2000 and focuses on Shakespeare and his workplace including a guided tour of the Globe Theatre, where visitors may be able to witness a rehearsal during theater season.
The exhibit has several displays focusing on the actor, audience and architecture of Shakespeare's plays and playhouses. The use of film, sound and interactive exhibits enhances the experience. Visitors can compose their own piece of music on an interactive monitor, learn how actors' parts evolve from hand written manuscripts to printed plays and learn about fashion and theatrical costumes.
Shakespeare's Globe Restaurant and Shakespeare's Globe Café are popular spots to sit and relax before the theater or after a tour. Tube: Blackfriars or Waterloo
