Globe Theatre 2007 Season

The 2007 Season at The Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London run from 4 May to 7 October 2007.

Important Information: The Globe Theatre is a reconstruction of an open-air theatre designed in 1599 and therefore cannot satisfy all modern day expectations of comfort and convenience. In view of this please take a moment to read this information before booking.

• All seats are priced according to visibility. The roof of the stage and all gallery seats are held up by pillars - there is no seat in the theatre from which the action is not obscured at some point by pillars.
• Whilst all seats are covered, the theatre is open to the elements and performances will continue whatever the weather. Ticket holders are therefore advised to come prepared for rain, sun and hot or cold temperatures, but are asked not to bring umbrellas. Inexpensive Globe Theatre rain macs may be purchased at the theatre.
• There are 28 steps to the middle gallery and 50 steps to the upper gallery. Those who may have problems climbing stairs, or who suffer from vertigo, are advised to obtain tickets in the lower gallery. Assistance can be requested for those with mobility difficulties - please contact the Duty House Manager on arrival.
• Seating consists of wooden benches, many without back supports. Cushions and back supports can be rented.
• Due to the strict nature of The Globe Theatre's performance licence, theatregoers are asked not to sit in the Yard (Standing Area). Also, please do not bring shooting sticks or folding chairs. Pushchairs also cannot be accommodated in the Yard.
• There are no cloakrooms for the storage of coats or baggage. We request patrons to keep their belongings with them at all times. For the comfort of all patrons, it is not practical to take large items into the theatre. In these times of heightened security, please note that the Golbe Theatre's staff reserve the right to carry our random bag searches.
• All toilets are located at piazza (ground) level. There are no toilets at upper or middle gallery level. Doors into the theatre are opened half an hour before performances begin. Glass bottles are not permitted in the theatre. Items should not be placed on the stage. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre operates a no smoking policy in all the public areas.
