Pop up Globe Theatre

Pop-up Globe Auckland is a full-scale working temporary replica of Shakespeare’s second Globe Theatre, the result of groundbreaking international academic research. With a steel frame ‘skinned’ in plywood the Pop-up Globe fuses cutting-edge scaffold technology with 400-year-old designs and superb contemporary performances to create an immersive 360 degree experience unlike any other. Wherever in the theatre you sit or stand, you’ll be within 15m of the action on stage and surrounded on all sides by people sharing the same space and experience.

The result: an incredibly intimate shared experience, people all around you laughing, booing, clapping.

The 2016 season was a success so Pop-up Globe returned in 2017 in a new locale, Ellerslie Racecourse.

The Pop-up Globe proved to be temporary and after performances in the 2019 20 summer headed for overseas.
