The opening performances are over.

These are dated examples, not live availability; use the official booking page.

Tickets and duration

The Globe lists seated tickets from £28 to £88 and standing tickets at £5 or £10.

Running time is 2 hours 30 minutes including a 20-minute interval. Under-16s must attend with an adult and cannot sit separately.

Content and access

The official page notes a mild reference to illegal substances.

Its remaining assisted performances at the 25 September check list captioned Wednesday 30 September at 19:30 and relaxed Saturday 17 October at 14:00. Match the service to the exact date and check the Globe Access Scheme before booking.

Arrival plan

Use the Bankside riverside entrance details and check TfL close to departure.

Allow time for security and ticket collection; standing visitors should prepare for an open-air performance and avoid making a tight dinner booking immediately after the approximate finish.
