She stands against a background of pink and purple curtains, framed by a lit candelabra. She lifts an ornate foliage headpiece to her head, obscuring her face from view. At the bottom left of the image, white block-text reads ‘CYMBELINE’.](https://images.shakespearesglobe.com/uploads/2024/07/Cymbeline_SocialWebsite_AW_1600-x-1000_1.png?resize=960%2C600&gravity)

For the first time at the Globe, experience the work of playwright Anton Chekhov with this twentieth century classic. Their world is going up in flames, one minute at a time. But can three sisters create the change they’re longing for? Caroline Steinbeis returns to the Playhouse to direct the world premiere of a new translation by playwright Rory Mullarkey.
!['Hansel and Gretel' show artwork depicts a replica of the Globe made from gingerbread cake sits on a log slice in the centre of the image, surrounded by truffles and rosemary sprigs that imitate trees and boulders. White icing mimics icicles, and some orange icing drips down the walls. Powdered sugar drifts onto the platter like snow. Centred at the top of the image, white block-text reads ‘HANSEL AND GRETEL’.](https://images.shakespearesglobe.com/uploads/2024/07/HanselGretel__1600-x-1000_1.png?resize=960%2C600&gravity)

Returning with a new recipe of music, mayhem and festive magic, this is a delicious treat for everyone aged 5+ directed by Nick Bagnall.
!['All's Well That Ends Well' show artwork depicts a woman in a green suit sitting at a small circular table with stacks of playing cards and a single lit candle. She holds four cards, all Queen of Hearts. The card nearest the candle begins to burn. At the top left of the image, white block-text reads ‘ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL’.](https://images.shakespearesglobe.com/uploads/2024/07/AllsWellThatEndsWell_SocialWebsite_1600-x-1000_1.png?resize=960%2C600&gravity)
