New releases on Globe Player: the latest shows to watch this winter
Even more Globe productions are now available or coming soon to our streaming platform

Even more titles are in store on Globe Player, our video-on-demand platform, including The Comedy of Errors, Antony and Cleopatra, Doctor Faustus, Measure for Measure, and select productions from our Globe to Globe Festival.

As well as the existing 26 productions available on Globe Player, the latest title now available to stream includes The Comedy of Errors (2014). Two sets of estranged twin brothers embark on a search for their other halves in the town of Ephesus in Shakespeare’s uproarious comedy of mistaken identity.
We fondly remember the incredible and inspiring Hattie Ladbury in this production, who features as Adriana.

Also available to stream from 13 December 2022 will be Shakespeare’s great and poetic love story, Antony and Cleopatra (2014) with Eve Best and Clive Wood as the fated lovers.
Our prestigious series of visiting international productions as part of our Globe to Globe Festival (2012) also return. Subtitled in English, enjoy ten Shakespeare plays from around the world with five productions released on 13 December 2022, and a further five in early 2023 – titles to be announced.
And as a treat to beat away new year blues, Christopher Marlowe’s gripping and sinister Doctor Faustus (2011) with Arthur Darvill as Mephistopheles and Paul Hilton as Faustus, and Shakespeare’s powerful and darkly comic Measure for Measure (2015), directed by Dominic Dromgoole, will also be available in early 2023.
