On the very ground where the original Globe Theatre once stood, Shakespeare by Candlelight invites you to experience Shakespeare’s words in the place they were born to be heard.

In the flicker of candlelight, two live musicians perform alongside a carefully curated selection of the Bard’s greatest soliloquies, monologues and speeches. Music and language intertwine to create an intimate, atmospheric evening that moves through love, ambition, grief, madness, power, longing and revenge.

There is something extraordinary about hearing Shakespeare on this ground. This is not Shakespeare at a distance, nor Shakespeare preserved behind glass. It is living theatre: voices in the dark, music in the air, words spoken aloud on the site of the original Globe Theatre itself.

Here, where Shakespeare’s company performed and where his plays helped change the world, familiar speeches are heard afresh and lesser-known moments find new life. The candlelight strips everything back to the essentials: performer, audience, music, language and place.

Whether you know the plays inside out or are returning to Shakespeare for the first time since school, Shakespeare by Candlelight offers an accessible, elegant and deeply human encounter with the greatest words ever written for the stage.

An evening of voice, music and candlelight - on the original ground of the Globe.
