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.

  • June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace
    No. 495 - June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Nothing like a Dame (make that two!) The VW’s Shakespeare party this year marked Shakespeare’s 452nd birthday as well as the 400th anniversary of his death. The party was a great success and while London, Stratford and many major cultural institutions went, in my view, a bit over-bard (sorry!), the VW’s party was graced by the presence of two Dames - Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins, two star Shakespeare performers very much associated with the Old Vic. The party was held in the Old Vic rehearsal room where so many greats – from Ninette de Valois to Laurence Olivier – would have rehearsed. Our wonderful Vice-President, Nickolas Grace, introduced our star guests by talking about their associations with the Old Vic; he pointed out that we had two of the best St Joans ever in the room where they would have rehearsed: Eileen Atkins played St Joan for the Prospect Company at the Old Vic in 1977-8; Joan Plowright played the role for the National Theatre at the Old Vic in 1963. Nickolas also read out a letter from Ronald Pickup who had been invited to the party but was away in France. Ronald Pickup said that he often thought about how lucky he was to have six years at the National Theatre, then at Old Vic, at the beginning of his career (1966-72) and it had a huge impact on him. Dame Joan Plowright Dame Joan Plowright then regaled us with some of her memories of the Old Vic, starting with the story of how when she joined the Old Vic school in 1949 part of her ‘training’ was moving chairs in and out of the very room we were in.

  • The Future Francis Beaumont
    3340 Early Theatre 20.2 (2017), 201–222 http://dx.doi.org/10.12745/et.20.2.3340 Eoin Price The Future Francis Beaumont This essay attends to Beaumont’s recent performance and reception history, docu- menting a range of academic and popular responses to demonstrate the challenges and affordances of engaging with Beaumont’s plays. The first section examines sev- eral twenty-first century performances of Beaumont plays, focusing especially on the Globe’s stimulating production of The Knight of the Burning Pestle. The second sec- tion considers how Beaumont was both acknowledged and ignored in 2016, the year of his 400th anniversary. The final section suggests some avenues for further research into the performance of Beaumont’s plays. In 1613, illness caused one of the greatest writers of the age to retire from play- wrighting, paving the way for his principal collaborator, John Fletcher, to become the main dramatist for the King’s Men, the company for whom he had writ- ten some of his most popular plays. Three years later, the London literary scene mourned his death. Tributes continued for decades and he was ultimately hon- oured with the posthumous publication of a handsome folio of his works. This is the familiar story of William Shakespeare. It is also the unfamiliar story of Francis Beaumont. The comparison of the two authors’ deaths I have just offered entails a degree of contrivance. Beaumont seemingly retired because he was incapacitated by a stroke, but Shakespeare’s reasons for retiring, and indeed, the nature of his retire- ment, are much less clear.

  • PHOENIX PRODUCES “OTHELLO” for the FIRST TIME 53-YEAR HISTORY and Welcomes Shakespeare’S Globe Research Fellow Dr
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 16, 2019 PHOENIX PRODUCES “OTHELLO” FOR THE FIRST TIME 53-YEAR HISTORY And welcomes Shakespeare’s Globe Research Fellow Dr. Tosh for lectures Conversations around race, misogyny and manipulation of the truth could not be more relevant in the political Phoenix Theatre landscape over the last few years. Director Prof. Brian Richmond felt it was important to bring these 2019/20 Season conversations to the stage and explore the parallels between then and now through the 400 year-old classic tragedy Othello. UVic’s Phoenix Theatre is honoured to present – for the first time in its 53-year history – 2 Othello Shakespeare’s Othello, from November 7 to 23, 2019. November 7– 23, 2019 Othello is the tale of two lovers from very different worlds: Othello a mighty general from a foreign land, and By William Shakespeare Desdemona, a beautiful and compassionate Senators’ daughter. Undeterred by prejudices, they marry, however With its racially infused politics, their love is put to the test when Othello’s trusted advisor, Iago, stokes the flames of jealousy, and ruthlessly misogyny and backstabbing friendships, pushes the couple – and the world around them – to a tragic end. The story includes military maneuvering, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy still reads political rivals, the spreading of malicious and racially-charged lies and backstabbing treachery. Sound familiar? like today’s headlines. With recent productions at prestigious institutions around the world, including the Royal Shakespeare Company Directed by Brian Richmond (in 2015), Shakespeare’s Globe (in 2017) and Stratford Festival (on currently), it appears that many theatre Choreography/Fight Direction: companies are also looking to Shakespeare as a way to help society make sense of current events.

  • Not-Shakespeare and the Shakespearean Ghost Peter Kirwan a Book with the Title the Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Performanc
    Not-Shakespeare and the Shakespearean Ghost Peter Kirwan A book with the title The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Performance sets up implicit exclusions from its cover page, in a word with complex and overlapping associations: ‘Shakespeare’. This is not a volume about the performances undertaken by an individual called Shakespeare, but performances of the writing performances of William Shakespeare, his dramatic (and perhaps poetic) works. Even at this most basic level, the term ‘Shakespeare’ is complex: a quarter to a third of the plays to which Shakespeare contributed contain the writing of other dramatists, and, as anyone who has been involved in creating theatre knows, the words of a playtext make up only one part of the whole play/performance of which the written texts are only one type of record. Shakespeare is shorthand for a body of work associated with Shakespeare, an industry spanning four centuries of reworking, rewriting, and reperforming this body, as the other essays in this book make clear. The instability of ‘Shakespeare and/in performance’ is already implicit in the seemingly infinite number of collaborative forms which the coupling of those terms makes possible, but this essay seeks to address a broader question: the performance of the wider early modern drama as Shakespearean performance. The overwhelming focus on Shakespeare over his contemporaries in criticism, production, and teaching around the world has led to a situation in which the ‘Shakespearean’ often stands for much more than Shakespeare. Even in surveying academic book titles, the selling power of Shakespeare’s name makes it synecdochic of a playing company (The Shakespeare Company), the theatre industry of his time (The Shakespearean Stage), his place of work (Shakespeare’s London), and the art of the early modern stage (The Shakespearean Drama).
