King John Globe

Richard the Lionheart is dead. England’s most beloved monarch. Now it’s John’s turn. Experience Shakespeare’s rarely performed masterpiece King John in the intimate, candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Desperate to carve out an identity of his own to escape the shadow of his adored older brother, King John must step into the role he claims the right to and attempt to rule his England. Driven to prove himself, his rule brings chaos, turbulence and power struggles across nations as he demonstrates he’ll go to any lengths to keep the crown and maintain control. Olivier-nominated director Jaz Woodcock-Stewart (Paradise Now!, Bush Theatre) makes her Globe directorial debut with Shakespeare’s extraordinary play.
