The 2005 theatre season will run from 6 May to 2 October, due to temperatures and daylight. Standing tickets are 5, and this should be experienced once -- after which you'll want a seat from 14 (not including cushion hire).

A newly rebuilt model of Shakespeare's theatre which stands on the South Bank by Tate Modern, close to the site of the original theatre that burnt down in 1613. (A cannon shot ignited the thatched roof of the gallery during a performance of Henry VIII. Nobody was hurt.) The theatre has a large open standing area which is enclosed by three tiers of covered, wraparound seating. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7e/200px-Globe_Galleries.JPG The 2005 theatre season will run from 6 May to 2 October, due to temperatures and daylight.
