Pop-up Globe Theatre, Season 2

Pop-up Globe® is the world’s first full scale temporary working replica of the second Globe theatre, Shakespeare’s theatre.
After the extraordinary 2016 debut season which sold over 100,000 tickets and was extended twice due to popular demand, Pop-up Globe is returning to Auckland this summer with a stunning new theatre design, four new productions of Shakespeare’s masterworks, and a beautiful new garden setting at Auckland’s Ellerslie Racecourse.
Fusing cutting-edge scaffold technology with 400-year old design Pop-up Globe recreates as accurately as possible the actual performance conditions of the second Globe: live music and dance, ferocious fight sequences, direct address, and every show ends with a rousing jig. The house lights remain on during the evening performances, meaning the actors and audience share the same space and experience – the audience is always a vital part of the show. Pop-up Globe gives a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience Shakespeare just as it would’ve been seen at the second Globe 400 years ago.
