In the build up to the 2011 Season, we are celebrating the 400 years of the King James Bible, with a recital on the Globe stage by a team of 20 actors. This work is one of the most significant books ever written, shaping our culture, our laws and our language. The Globe’s celebration will appeal, regardless of spiritual conviction, to anyone with an interest in the power of words.

Tempted to come along but want a little more detail? Why not check out our blog from the director, actors and scholars?

There will be 12 sessions and we encourage you to pop in for as long as you wish, latecomers and readmission allowed. Tickets for each session are just £10.
