Shakespeare's Globe
6 savesWishlisted by Michelle
Dear reader, have you ever wanted to watch a Shakespeare play the way Shakespeare envisioned? Shakespeare wrote his plays with the intention of it being staged at the Globe Theatre-- a Thrust Stage in a large circular yard surronded by 3 storeys of steep seating. Different from today's typical theatres. Shakespeare's Globe pays homage to the Elizabethan era of plays and showcases The Bard's plays the way they were originally staged. Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre that was built by William Shakespeare's company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1599. It was in the Globe Theatre where Shakespeare wrote and staged many of his plays including Othello, Macbeth, King Lear and Hamlet. Unfortunately, this original Globe Theatre burned down in 1613, rubuilt in 1614, and demolished in 1644. Shakespeare's Globe, founded by actor and director, Sam Wanamaker in 1997 is an authentic and accurate replica of the original theatrical home of Shakespeare.

According to William Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” His stage, however, was at The Globe Theatre. It was here that actors brought his words to life to a wide audience. The original structure was destroyed in a fire, then rebuilt—and demolished in 1644. What stands now is a realistic approximation of The Globe in its golden age, called Shakespeare’s Globe. Capture the viewers’ glee from the wings of the round theater. Book a tour ahead, especially during the Summer Season as tickets are in higher demand. Tours are subject to rehearsal and performance schedules, so check their website before a visit!

Without having to drive far, Intramuros allows you to enjoy yourself in a rich history hidden behind huge walls and cobblestone street that have been destroyed, preserved, and rebuilt many times.
