Coming to Shakespeare's Globe as part of the 2025 Summer Season is Shakespeare's delightfully spirited tale of Viola, a shipwrecked orphan who takes matters into her own hands when stranded on the shores of the ancient isle of Illyria.

Worlds collide in Shakespeare's darkly comic and rarely staged Troilus and Cressida, coming to the Globe Theatre this summer!
