Shakespeare’s Globe to reopen with open-air cinema and comedy improv performance

Shakespeare’s Globe will reopen its main theatre next month, with a series of open-air film screenings and a performance by improv group, the Comedy Store Players.

The Comedy Store Players return to the Globe for their 23rd consecutive year on 12 November and will play to a reduced capacity audience. Bookers will be seated around cabaret tables for the annual event.

The theatre will also be running a ‘Shakespeare on Screen’ programme from 13-15 November, which includes a filmed version of Twelfth Night starring Stephen Fry and Mark Rylance, as well as Shakespeare in Love, West Side Story, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet and the 1953 film of Kiss Me Kate. The venue will lay out deckchairs for audiences to watch the films from.

These socially distanced events will form the start of preparations to reopen the venue fully in spring 2021.
