Discover how shows were produced in Shakespeare's time, from writing and rehearsals to music, dance and performance. Find out how special effects were produced and listen to recordings from some of the most memorable Shakespearean performances ever. Join the cast and add your own voice to a scene recorded by Globe actors, then create your own Shakespearean phrases in the word jungle. Watch a sword-fighting display and browse the costume collection, where you can learn about the extraordinary methods used in creating clothes 400 years ago.
A visit to the exhibition includes a fascinating half-hour tour of the auditorium, where expert storytellers take you on a journey back through time to Elizabethan London. There is also the opportunity to learn about the traditional crafts and techniques used during the process of rebuilding the Globe theatre, as well as an insight into how the wooden 'o' works today as an imaginative and experimental theatrical space.
Housed beneath the original Globe Theatre in London's Bankside, the exhibition is an unmissable piece of history.
