Photo: Steve Tanner WELCOME 2016 – a momentous year – in which the world celebrated the richness of Shakespeare’s legacy 400 years after his death. Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

  • Mima Press Release Coming up on the Evening of Saturday 27
    mima Press Release 22 September 2014 mima live, Saturday 27 September 2014 – Monotony, Brown Brogues, Milky Wimpshake & Sorry Escalator Coming up on the evening of Saturday 27 September is the return of mima live, a free event which is a part of the town-wide Middlesbrough Live. With a line up which includes BBC Radio 6 Music darlings Monotony, alongside Brown Brogues, Milky Wimpshake & Sorry Escalator, this year’s event should be not one to miss. These bands have been handpicked by our mima Live curator Nicky Peacock as the best up and coming acts of this year – apart from Milky Wimpshake who have always been brilliant. Monotony is a four piece punk outfit from London and Brighton who are taking BBC Radio 6 Music by storm, getting daily plays on the Marc Riley show. Monotony is a side project of the garage racket band Sauna Youth in which they all switched instruments. Their glorious garage racket has caught the attention of Colin Newman of iconic post-punk band Wire, who cites them as his new favourite band. They are joined by Manchester’s Brown Brogues - two men making savage garage sounds with drums, guitar and primitive hollering. They wrestle, they swear and they spectacularly outshone indie superstars The Kills on a recent US tour - your mum wouldn't like them but we do. Next in the line-up is one of the UKs best loved indie pop bands Milky Wimpshake. Forever relevant, they continue to be purveyors of ‘love songs for punk rockers’. Fronted by Pete Dale, of the much-loved and legendary DIY label Slampt – he ruled the Newcastle scene for most of the ‘90s and introduced us to bands such as Kenickie (featuring broadcaster Lauren Laverne), Yummy Fur (featuring members of Franz Ferdinand) and Pussycat Trash.
