Shakespeare in Rome

Every summer, Villa Borghese turns into an open air theater. And we’re not talking about a normal theater: it is an Elizabethan theater in the vein of the original Globe Theater where William Shakespeare was artistically born!

In the daytime, you can go lay on the grass and ease the warmth of the shining sun, boating on the lake. Or you can go visit the Galleria Borghese museum, which renovation has recently made available 10 new rooms. In the night time, you can enjoy the most famous plays born from the genius of Shakespeare that spread all over the world and throughout the generation like space-time chickenpox.

From July 1st until September 18th, you can go back to Elizabethan age with “The Storm, Love's Labour's Lost, Richard III, Twelfth Night," and of course, “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” If you get the special Globe card, you can get a discount on the shows and on the tickets for many museums (see the complete list here.

To be there or not to be there? It’s quite obvious, don’t you think???
