Shakespeare's Globe has announced its 2025 summer season - and there are some big surprises
Briefly

The Globe Theatre in London has announced its 2025 outdoor summer programming, featuring a mix of popular plays and lesser-known Shakespearean works. After a period of safe, popular programming aimed at drawing crowds post-pandemic, the upcoming season showcases an adventurous selection, including a Wild West adaptation of 'Romeo & Juliet' and the first outdoor revival of Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible'. Directed by Sean Holmes and Ola Ince, respectively, these productions aim to offer audiences a blend of the familiar and the new, while more obscure Shakespeare is typically reserved for the indoor playhouse.
The outdoor summer programming at the recreated Bankside theatre has been fairly safe in the post-pandemic years, focusing heavily on popular works to draw audiences.
The 2025 outdoor programme features blockbusters and lesser-known Shakespeare plays alongside the first outdoor revival of a classic play by another playwright.
