Twelfth Night (2020)

This event has now passed.
Visit our What's On to see our current and upcoming events.

Shakespeare’s Globe has taken the difficult but responsible decision to close our doors to the public until further notice, ceasing performances, education activities and tours.

As you can imagine, this has been one of the hardest decisions we have had to make, but a necessary one as we consider the safety and well-being of both the public, staff and volunteers.

We hope to open the doors to our wooden O as soon as possible – but in this unprecedented time for theatre, and as a charity that receives no annual government subsidy, we are in desperate need of donations to help us to continue to strive in the future.

We ask at this time of huge risk to our beloved theatre that you donate if you can. Any amount, large or small, will be hugely appreciated.

With love, solidarity and thanks to you all from the whole Globe family.

If   when we meet again, why, we shall smile

MAKE A DONATION NOW

Ever realised the person you’re in love with isn’t who you thought they were at all?

You’ll feel right at home here.

This isn’t a world of conceited courts or proud politics.

This is a world of joy and loss, hope and grief, change and transformation. Brace yourselves to experience the madness of love as never before.

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

– Act III, Scene 4

TWELFTH NIGHT STORY

In the household of Olivia, two campaigns are being quietly waged – one by the lovesick lord Orsino against the heart of the indifferent Olivia; the other by an alliance of servants and hangers-on against the high-handedness of her steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet chain of events follows.
