What's on at the Globe.


In 2003 the Globe season reaches new heights of ambition with a stunning line up of five plays set to run throughout the May to September period. Shakespeare's Richard II starts the year with a short season in Middle Temple Hall before relocating to the Globe. Once there it is joined by Shakespeare's Richard III and The Taming of the Shrew, and for the first time in thje new Globe two works by Marlowe; Edward II and Dido, Queen of Carthage.
Information on performance dates and times can be found on this page while cast lists and links to actor biographies can be found on the 2003 season cast page. The information contained on that page remains sketchy at this time, but will be expanded as soon as I know more.
Please be aware that although I have taken every care to make the following list as accurate as possible, 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.
