Inspired and informed by the unique historic playing conditions of Shakespeare's Globe, this collection harnesses the power of performance, cultivates intellectual curiosity, and excites learning.

Highlights of the collection include:

Henry IV
The first instalment of what is widely acknowledged to be Shakespeare's greatest historical saga, Henry IV is an epic tale of power, treachery, and war, exploring the complexity of father-son relationships. Featuring an Olivier Award-winning performance from Roger Allam as Falstaff and the comical mentor to Jamie Parker's Prince Hal.

Twelfth Night
This Tony award-winning production, under the direction of Tim Carroll, features the hilarious tale of misdirection and deception performed here by an all-male cast, among whom we find Mark Rylance as Olivia and Stephen Fry as the pompous Malvolio.

Macbeth
Eve Best directs this dark and gripping version of Macbeth, starring Joseph Millson and Samantha Spiro. From its mesmerising first moments to the last fulfilment of the witches' prophecy, Shakespeare's gripping account of the profoundest engagement with the forces of evil enthrals the imagination.

Romeo and Juliet
Dominic Dromgoole's production brings refreshing clarity to one of Shakespeare's most famous and best-loved tragedies, drawing out the contemporary relevance of this passionate teenage love story.
