Take our unique Henry VIII Guided Tour of the Globe Theatre this summer and discover more about the history of Shakespeare and John Fletcher’s rarely performed play.

From within the confines of our wooden ‘O’, you’ll be introduced to the plot and characters of the original play by our expert guides before delving into its origins.

Discover the history of the play on Bankside, including the fiery performance that burned down the original Globe Theatre.

Hear the stories of the real historical figures the characters are based on, and explore themes of truth, redemption, and justice.

You might even catch a glimpse of the company preparing for the next performance of Henry VIII.

You don’t need to have booked to see the show to take the tour, but it would complement attending a performance perfectly. The tour is timed so you can comfortably enjoy it before the performance.
