We have the American actor and director Sam Wanamaker (father of Zoë Wanamaker) to thank for the Globe. He’d observed that although there were several replicas of the theatre in the United States, in London – on the actual site of this legendary Bankside space – we only had a measly plaque. In 1970, Wanamaker founded the Shakespeare Globe Trust and...
In 2014, the Globe added an indoor theatre: the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. This exquisitely designed, intimate space is modelled on the candlelit theatres in London that would have been in use during Shakespeare’s time – like the Blackfriars Playhouse. It’s lit by more than 100 beeswax candles, and has an elaborate painted ceiling mural based on the ...

The current artistic director is actress Michelle Terry. ...

What happened to the first Globe? Disaster struck the Globe in 1613. On 29 June, at a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry VIII, some small cannons were fired. They didn’t use cannon balls, but they did use gunpowder held down by wadding. A piece of burning wadding set fire to the thatch. The theatre burned down in about an hour. It was big news.
