The Taming of The Shrew takes over Shakespeare's Globe - get £5 tickets!

This brand new production is directed by Jude Christian, who won acclaim for her take on Titus Andronicus at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse (The Guardian called it "brilliantly provocative" in its four-star review). As for the cast? Thalissa Teixeira plays our titular "shrew" -- her recent credits include Brutus in the RSC's Julius Caesar.

As you probably know, Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the playhouse for which the Bard penned his plays. Just like the original theatre, it includes a pit below the stage where spectators can watch the action unfold for less. These 'groundling' tickets start at just £5 a pop -- get the best value tickets for the following week every Friday from 11am.
