Book now for The Globe Summer Season 2022
Summer 2022 at Shakespeare's Globe includes the chance to watch Kathryn Hunter as King Lear, Sean Holmes's The Tempest, a feminist Henry VIII and more
King Lear
Kathryn Hunter reprises the role of King Lear in Helena Kaut-Howson's revival of her groundbreaking 1997 production of the tragedy. Hunter's partner, Complicité co-founder Marcello Magni, returns too, playing Kent as well as overseeing the show’s movement. The Globe’s artistic director Michelle Terry joins the cast as both Cordelia and Lear’s Fool.
Much Ado About Nothing
Her critically-acclaimed take on Shakespeare’s gory tragedy Titus Andronicus was so frightening, a number of audience members reportedly fainted. Now, director Lucy Bailey returns to the Globe with a lighter offering in the form of Shakespeare’s Sicily-set comedy Much Ado About Nothing.
Sean Holmes’s The Tempest, Shakespeare’s Globe
Hot off the heels of his winter Hamlet in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the Globe’s associate artistic director Sean Holmes brings his vision for The Tempest to the theatre’s main, open-air auditorium.
Henry VIII, Shakespeare’s Globe
Women Beware Women and Fantastically Great Women Who Change The World director Amy Hodge teams up with the Globe’s resident writer Hannah Khalil (A Museum in Baghdad) to examine Shakespeare’s final play, Henry VIII, from a female perspective.
