The Globe Theatre is a faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse designed in 1599, where Shakespeare worked and for which he wrote many of his greatest plays. The theatre season runs from May to October with productions of the work of Shakespeare, his contemporaries and modern authors.
Each year the Globe Theatre Company rediscovers the dynamic relationship between the audience and the actor in this unique building. The Globe also welcomes international theatre companies to share the impact Shakespeare’s plays have had worldwide. Today, audiences of this "wooden O" sit in a gallery or stand informally as a groundling in the yard, just as they would have done 400 years ago.

First thing I saw there was Dido, Queen of Carthage (sadly not a Shakespeare play), and it was phenomenal! I was a 'groundling' as I quite rightly should be. Been back since to see some of the bard's own work. As a 'groundling' again, natch.
I've never seen anything there but I visited it on vacation! It was so mind boggeling to be in a place where an amazing playwriter like shakespeare produced some of his great works!
I saw the Merchant of Venice there and i absolutey fell in love with the place. It was the best play i've ever seen.
