Where to Sit
The Playhouse is small, with seats in the Pit in front of the stage and in two Galleries around it, so nobody is far from the actors. The Boxes in the Lower Gallery are right beside the stage.
What's Julius Caesar About?
Rome. Caesar is growing more powerful by the month, and in the corridors of the Senate a group of his allies decide he has to die. Brutus, Caesar's friend, joins the plot. They kill him, but Mark Antony turns the crowd against them, and the city slides into civil war.
The Globe calls it "Shakespeare's brutal and timely tale of friendship, betrayal and political violence". This version is directed and adapted by Joe Hill-Gibbins, who staged Ghosts in the same theatre.
Who's It For?
Anyone studying the play or who wants to see it done up close, and people who like their Shakespeare political and fast. The Globe gives no age guidance, but the production includes depictions of war, suicide and violence, and under-16s must be with an adult.

Getting to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
The Playhouse is part of Shakespeare's Globe at 21 New Globe Walk, Bankside, SE1 9DT, on the river beside Tate Modern. Blackfriars and Mansion House stations are about 10 minutes' walk, and London Bridge is 10 to 15. The Millennium Bridge comes down 50 metres from the entrance.
The 344 stops at Southwark Bridge, about two minutes away, and the 381 on Southwark Street, about five. North of the river, the 11, 15, 17 and 26 stop at Mansion House and the 45, 63 and 100 at Blackfriars Bridge.
The Globe may hold latecomers until a suitable point and seat them elsewhere until the interval, and it doesn't guarantee late entry, so arrive 15 to 20 minutes before, no later. More in our Sam Wanamaker Playhouse guide.
