What would life have been like for the queer community during Shakespeares lifetime? And how exactly are they linked to the theatre? Take a deep dive into an important era in LGBTQ+ history, from rebellious icons down in the yard to nobility in the galleries, and even the intimate letters between King James I and his favourite the Duke of Buckingham. Discover vivid records of diverse sexualities and gender identities in the writing of the time, including Shakespeares own Sonnets, and explore the queer relationships between characters in some of his most famous plays. This unique tour is packed with fascinating people, both real and fictional, and their unexpected stories. You will embark on a journey through the queer stories and characters that shaped Shakespeares life and plays, proving that love is love has always been true youll see how the Bard used his mighty quill to challenge societal norms. Make haste and book your spot! Audiences are still fascinated by the deep meaning behind his fierce interest in queer desire as a human experience and Londons legendary Shakespeares Globe is helping them uncover it.
