A fantastic Summer Season for 2025 including Romeo and Juliet and The Crucible written by Arthur Miller.
Join Shakespeare’s Globe this summer and be transformed by a kaleidoscope of timeless tales of love, revenge, truth, power and peace.
Summer begins in the dangerous world of the American West with an exciting new production of Romeo and Juliet (25 April – 2 August) Directed by Sean Holmes, Rawaed Asde and Lola Shalam star as Romeo and Juliet. Prepare for The Globe Theatre to be transformed into the dark, brooding world of the American West, where a blood feud between two sworn enemies erupts with brutal consequences.
Be transported to raucous Elizabethan England for The Merry Wives of Windsor (4 July – 20 September). Disreputable knight Sir John Falstaff hatches a plan to restore his fortunes by seducing two wealthy housewives, who decide to play their own tricks in this unexpected story of mischief, madness and metamorphoses.
Ola Ince returns to direct The Crucible written by Arthur Miller (8 May until 12 July). This production of revolutionary American playwright Arthur Miller’s seminal play about Salem in 1692, and McCarthy’s 1950’s America, marks the first time a modern classic will be performed in the Globe Theatre. When rumours grow that a group of girls are practicing witchcraft, mass hysteria sweeps through the town of Salem, Massachusetts.
Robin Belfield returns to direct Twelfth Night, or What You Will (8 August to 25 October). Shakespeare’s dizzying tragicomedy sweeps into the Globe Theatre in an intoxicating whirlwind, where love can be as changeable as the weather.
Owen Horsley makes his Globe directorial debut with Troilus and Cressida, (26 September to 26 October). Shakespeare’s genre-defying satirical study of appearance versus reality, sees two opposing worlds of Greece and Troy clash in this rarely performed play.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream: For One Night Only (Sunday 14 September), directed by Blanche McIntyre. A company of actors to be announced all meet for the first time on the day of performance. The evening promises nothing but joy when both artists and audience take part in this ultra-live theatrical experiment.
Summer 2024 hit Rough Magic, directed by Globe Director of Education Lucy Cuthbertson, returns to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse from 19 July until 23 August.
