The Globe Theatre will be putting on an exciting new production of Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet... set in the dangerous world of the American Wild West!

Romeo and Juliet have been forbidden to see each other by their warring parents. An ancient grudge has turned their families into sworn enemies, and Juliet's father is urging her to marry another man.

The couple try to keep their relationship secret, but when their tryst gets out the family feud descends into a saloon brawl and a bloody gunfight, and the violent reprisals leave the whole town divided.

The young lovers decide to run away and wed. But will they live happily ever after, or will their secret wedding lead to a terrible tragedy? Get ready for a showdown!

Watching a play at the Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre is a replica of the one that stood in Shakespeare's day and is completely open to the weather. If you buy a cheap ticket then you'll be standing in the 'yard' that surrounds the stage. In Shakespeare's day it would have been filled with wet mud and sawdust, but these days it's solid concrete.

You can also sit on one of the balconies that wrap around the yard. For the best view we recommend going for one on the middle level... but try and avoid the three bays closest to the stage because your view will be obscured by some supporting columns (so don't go in blocks A, B, C, N, P or Q). If you're in the upper level then avoid the first four bays (so don't go in blocks A, B, C, D, M, N, P or Q). And if you're on the lower level avoid the first two bays (A, B, P and Q).
