A Shakespeare Party at the Globe is your chance to spend the Bank Holiday Weekend marking the return to the stage of one of the best loved theatrical companies of the day. With their colourful, exciting and unusual approach to Shakespeare, they are inviting everyone to attend the Shakespeare Party at the Globe and help them celebrate.

The Globe Theatre will be transformed into a one big party all weekend long as the Footsbarn crew make this a party to end all parties. Shakespeare himself would have been proud of the carnivalesque atmosphere of dance, performance, music and magic that will take place in his honour.

Using 16 performers from 11 different countries the Shakespeare Party at the Globe theatre will take all the best bits from all the best plays and bring them together in a riot of Shakespearian excess. Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth are just a few of the Shakespeare plays that will be thrown into the mix and enjoyed by all.

Juliet is said to be walking the tightrope, Titania may drop from the heavens, and there would seem to be an inordinate number of grave diggers called Derek; combining puppets, magic tricks, circus feats, masks, and comedy, the party will prove a delight for all who attend.

Having been inspired by the complete works of Shakespeare, including his songs and sonnets, the Footsbarn players have created a fabulous feast of the bard's works to celebrate the opening of their brand new play at the Globe. With the Shakespeare Party at the Globe theatre as an introductory measure, there are sure to be many theatre fans who will be eager to see their new production after the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Footsbarn Theatre have been performing Shakespeare plays all across the workd for the last 35 years, and now they are coming back to London for the first time in 15 years. Following their much acclaimed and sell out production of A Mid Summer Nights Dream in Paris, they are celebrating their return to England with a full on Shakespeare Party at the Globe.

Performances at the Shakespeare Party at the Globe take place at 17:30pm on Friday 23rd, 2pm and 7:30pm on Saturday 24th and 1pm and 6:30pm on Sunday 25th May 2008. If you would like to book tickets for any of the Shakespeare Party shows, phone 020 7401 9919 for more information. All performances have 700 £5.00 standing tickets allocated.
