Happy New Year!

2013 is arguably going to be the Globe’s biggest year yet. The Season of Plenty boasts a record fifteen productions including: international tours, three new writes and the return of several Globe to Globe productions alongside an array of supernatural Shakespeare.

Priority booking for the theatre is now open for Friends of the Globe. Public booking opens on 11 February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Throughout spring we continue to explore the theme of Shakespeare: Playing Indoors with a series of talks and seminars, staged readings and music events. 

Our brand new mobile website makes it easier to access information and book tickets on the go. We are working to optimise all our content for viewing on mobile with more coming in April. 

And despite the freezing temperatures building work on The Sam Wanamaker Theatre is well underway. We are just under £1million from our target, and with your continued support we will reach our £7.5million target.

We look forward to seeing you this year.
