What happens in the room
Actors work with scripts in hand alongside theatre practitioners and scholars involved in the New Variorum Shakespeare project at Texas A&M.
Scenes become a way to explore how performance informs editorial choices. The interest lies in seeing alternatives tested, rather than watching a finished production from beginning to end.
Who should choose this evening?
It is a useful choice if you enjoy asking why a line is delivered one way rather than another, or how a written text becomes action.
Students can connect reading with performance; regular theatregoers can look at decisions usually hidden behind a polished show. If your group wants a complete story with full staging, compare the production programme instead before buying.
Price and the time commitment
Historical record: the project’s June announcement gives 17 September 2026, 18:00–20:15, at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, with £15 tickets.
The event has finished and this is not a current ticket offer. The original Globe listing no longer resolves in our direct check; the collaborating project’s announcement is retained as the source.
Plan for the right building
The workshop is in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at the Globe site, not the outdoor Globe Theatre.
Save the venue name and booking confirmation before leaving. An indoor event can still involve an exposed riverside approach; keep a walk or meal flexible in poor weather.
Avoid a tightly timed cross-city booking immediately afterwards.
Arriving on Bankside
The Globe’s travel guide suggests Blackfriars rail via the South Bank exit, around ten minutes on foot.
London Bridge on the Northern line is another option; Southwark on the Jubilee line offers a longer walk. Check current TfL services and your own walking requirements.
The address is 21 New Globe Walk, London SE1 9DT, beside the Bankside cultural area.
Ask about the access you need
Use the Globe Access Scheme and venue team to discuss suitable seating and booking arrangements.
This listing does not confirm a specific captioned or signed performance, age rule or named principal cast, so none is assumed. Keep a nearby meal as the one optional extra.
Once the workshop ends, this guide becomes a historical record and active discovery moves to new dates.
