What's on at the Globe.


The 2000 season consists of four main plays and a number of special events. The list below gives the full schedule and contains links to summaries and, hopefully in due course, reviews. If you want to check out the play details before checking dates, then click on the appropiate title below.

All remaining performances of Hamlet and The Tempest are now completely sold out. This includes all standing tickets.

Cast lists and links to actor biographies can be found on the 2000 season cast page. The company currently performing The Tempest will also perform Two Noble Kinsmen, while the Hamlet cast will be appearing in Antipodes.

Please be aware that although I have taken every care to make the following list as accurate as possble, I cannot be held responsible for errors or last minute changes in the schedule. Please check with the Globe Theatre box office for full details.

The following links have been wrong all season, and I have only just noticed. My apologies, they are correct now.

The Tempest

by William Shakespeare.

On a windswept isle somewhere in the Mediterranean lives Prospero, once the Duke of Milan and his daughter Miranda. For twelve years they have lain in exile after Propsero's brother, Antonio usurped his dukedom and banished them. Now, Propsero with the aid of a powerful spirit called Ariel, has caused the ship carrying Alonso; the King of Naples, Antonio and several other nobles to be wrecked upon the shores of his island.

The Globe's production of The Tempest stars Vanessa Redgrave in the title role. To see details of the rest of the cast please follow this link to the 2000 season cast page.


Hamlet

by William Shakespeare.

King Hamlet of Denmark is dead. His brother has taken the throne and married the newly widowed Queen. The dead King's son, also called Hamlet is still mourning his father's loss when he encounters his Ghost upon the castle battlements. The spectre of his dead father tells Hamlet that he had not died a natural death but had been murdered. The young Prince sets out to avenge his father's murder, but finds little support in his uncle's court.

Two Noble Kinsmen

by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher.

Arcite and Palamon are brothers in battle and cousins in blood. They have fought side by side, protecting each-other through all the dangers of war. Now they find themselves prisoners in their enemy's dungeon, and from the one small window of their prison they espy the stunningly beautiful Emilia, who is sister of the Queen. Both immediately fall hopelessly in love with her and their friendship swiftly turns to rivalry as they each attempt to win her hand in marriage. Arcite is freed from captivity by the King, but is then banished. Palamon is freed by the daughter of the jailor who has in turn fallen madly in love with him.

Antipodes

by Richard Brome.

A doctor hires a band of players to assist him in curing his patient's madness. The man is obsessed with the Antipodes, which is supposed to be the country on the far side of the world from Europe, a place of strange beasts and stranger people. The man has been married for three years, but has yet to consumate his marriage. The cure takes the form of a supposed trip to the Antipodes, with all the natives being acted by the players. They create a fanciful and topsy-turvey world where all things are in reverse.
