Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre King John

Following a series of sell-out performances at last year’s Festival, we proudly welcome back Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. This internationally acclaimed theatre company will perform Shakespeare’s King John, a tale of social upheaval, war and family feuding, set against the haunting backdrop of one of England’s finest medieval cathedrals.

Presented in partnership with Salisbury Cathedral as part of a year-long celebration marking the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta, this indoor production of King John will be staged just a few feet away from the finest surviving copy of the charter, and alongside the tomb of King John’s half-brother, William Longspée.

King John is co-produced by Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Royal & Derngate Northampton
