Actor-led Show Tours of the Blackfriars Playhouse blend lecture and performance in an educational and entertaining look at the theatre of Shakespeare's day. Our actor-guides tell the story of England's first indoor theatre and perform passages from current shows to demonstrate how the staging conditions of 17th-century London shaped the works of Shakespeare and his fellow playwrights. Tour participants gather on stage to imagine playing Puck, Juliet, Hamlet, or any other favorite character. Tours last approximately one hour. Photography encouraged!
