Shakespeare’s Globe new player

Click here to register : annual subscription or per play

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has a marvellous archive of its past productions and they have a new mechanism to make them available to us – Globe Player. Here, for a mere £59.99 year or £9.99 per show we can access their A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Much Ado, The Duchess of Malfi, King Lear, Two Noble Kinsmen, Loves Labours Lost and a bunch more. For Shakespeare lovers, especially those lovers who appreciate the Globe’s somewhat unconventional take on these classic plays, this is a good deal.

But nothing in this world is as easy as it looks. First, you’ve got to set up a Globe account. Go to the Globe website www.shakespearesglobe.com to activate your account and set up a new password.
Once you’ve set up your password, it’s fairly straightforward (everything’s relative) and you can log into player.shakespeareglobe.com to find the play or film you want to watch. You only have to do this once.
