Such a cool experience! Highly recommend catching a play here.
Nate NorrishFebruary 18, 2012
Go on the tour, it's only £12.50. It's well worth it as they explain what it was like in London in the 1600s!

If you're fit and healthy, the best seats are the cheapest; standing in the yard. Do it.

A recreation of the original Shakespeare theatre that burnt down. Looks rather modern and fake in some ways.
Ipshita SharmaMarch 19, 2015
Find out the schedule before you go there. They get sold out very soon
Stephine Sison-CallantaFebruary 27, 2011
i pray that the younger generation of today can look back and ask themselves if they know who Shakespeare is. A lot would claim they do, but truth is, they don't!
LizbtAugust 15, 2012
Get standing room if you can, some of the boxes have very limited viewing.
Lunar HAugust 9, 2014
You can watch a play for cheaper than a film ... Finally! Never disappointed.
