Magazine Profile

Around the Globe is a magazine with a wide scope of subject matter and a wide range of readers. It is highly respected in academic circles, yet maintains a popular appeal and is packed with incisive articles, reviews and features. It is aimed at people with an interest in Shakespeare and in theatre in general, both of which are attracting an ever-growing global market. As the Globe’s reputation as a centre for dramatic excellence grows, there is no better time to advertise in its flagship publication.

Around the Globe currently has a circulation of 11,000.

It is distributed as part of Globe membership and fundraising schemes, sold by direct subscription and is also on sale in Shakespeare's Globe Shop. It is held by many public and academic libraries, and is bought by many of the schools whose 50,000 students take part in Globe Education programmes each year.
