Michelle Terry, Artistic Director said, “I am delighted to share our 2025 summer season. The Globe is an independent charity, and as a charity our focus is always on our beneficiaries. At the heart of the Globe is the relationship between our beneficiaries – our artists and our audiences. It seems too obvious to say, but they can’t exist without each other and that is especially true in the embrace of our wooden ‘O’. These are complicated times for cultural organisations: how can we continue to create and experiment, question, excite, and provoke at the same time as reassure an audience that the experience they have will be deserving of their precious time and hard-earned cash. This season at The Globe has artists and audience in mind as we try to balance well-known and beloved plays, with lesser known, but equally extraordinary ones.
“We hope this season strikes that balance; with these timely & timeless tales told by some of the most important artists working in British Theatre today. We also hope this exciting season comes at a price that people can afford. A price that allows people to take a punt on a play they may not know, in an iconic theatre they may never have visited before, in the company of people that they know, as well as those they have never met.”
