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.

  • 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.

Each volume includes an introduction by the foremost First Folio scholar, Anthony James West. Sources, early Performance and Publication Shakespeare’s principal sources for Romeo & Romeo & Juliet was almost certainly first Juliet were a long narrative poem called The performed by Shakespeare’s company, the Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Chamberlain’s Men, in or around 1596 – a Brooke, first published in 1562 and, to a lesser ‘lyrical’ period of Shakespeare’s writing career degree, the prose romance Rhomeo and Julietta which also includes A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Painter. Both sources were based Richard II and many of the Sonnets . No records on a French version of the Italian story Giulietta exist to tell us where it was first seen, but it e Romeo first published in about 1530. Such is likely to have been either the Theatre or the The Curtain Theatre, Shoreditch (to the right), where Italian ‘novelles’ were popular reading in Curtain playhouse in Shoreditch. It has been Romeo & Juliet was probably first performed in or around Shakespeare’s time and Painter’s collection, suggested that Richard Burbage, the company’s 1596.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 19 SEPTEMBER Shakespeare’s Globe is delighted to announce casting for the Winter Season 2018, its plans for a year-long cycle of history plays from February 2019, and Globe Associates, to include Sean Holmes, who is to become Associate Artistic Director. Michelle Terry, Artistic Director, said: “As the UK approaches its exit of the EU, our theatre will present a cycle of history plays, providing a unique opportunity to rediscover how Shakespeare perceived ‘this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England’. Richard II in this year’s Winter Season begins a year-long exploration of what our sceptered isle looks like now, presenting a journey through history via Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III. I am so proud to announce my core team of Associate Artists who will help guide and deliver on the season, as well as support the development and continuing exploration of The Globe Ensemble. The Ensemble allows us to truly explore the DNA of Shakespeare’s plays, all of which were written bespoke for a company of players and made for the architecture of our unique play houses. Most of the artists have worked with us in some capacity this season and I am so excited to welcome Sean Holmes to the Globe family. Sean’s unprecedented experience on Secret Theatre will provide invaluable insight into a process and a practice that is so important to me and to the work that we are experimenting with at Shakespeare’s Globe.” Sean Holmes said: “Michelle’s vision for the Globe is exciting, inclusive and bold - focused on the centrality of ensemble and the honest and open relationship between actors and audience that it engenders.

During the period of this Review, our international presence was a physical reality in almost half of the world’s countries with our two-year Globe to Globe Hamlet world tour, an unprecedented theatrical journey that received the 2015 International Award from The Stage as well as UNESCO endorsement. Hamlet will visit the world’s remaining countries and return home to Bankside in April 2016. Digitally, our Globe Player, also a theatre first, is taking our work and over 60 films direct to a wide variety of audiences, many aged under 35, in 180 countries. And a significant last – after ten vibrantly creative and pioneering years we saw the final season in the Globe Theatre of our Artistic Director, Dominic Dromgoole. His last production is The Tempest, in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in April 2016. Dominic’s 2015 Globe season included our first main performance of King John which marked another first; every play in the Shakespeare canon has now been produced by Shakespeare’s Globe. Our new works continue to be much in demand. The world premiere in the Playhouse of Farinelli and the Our Vision King, written by Claire van Kampen, the Globe’s Associate for Early Modern Theatre Music, with Mark Rylance, the Globe’s first Artistic Director, playing the King, transferred to a sell-out run in the West End, where it garnered six Olivier Award nominations.

    Analele Universit ății „Ovidius” Constan ța. Seria Filologie Vol. XXXI, 2/2020 LAUGHTER AND TRAGEDY: ROMEO AND JULIET DIRECTED BY DOMINIC DROMGOOLE AT SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE (2009) Lavinia RUSU MIRCEA Ovidius University of Constan ţa Abstract: This essay discusses moments of laughter as recorded in the 2009 production of Romeo and Juliet , directed by Dominic Dromgoole at Shakespeare’s Globe. The space of the production is essential because the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre replicates exactly the conditions of performance in Shakespeare’s time. However, twenty-first-century audiences react differently to the language and actors’ jokes. Even if this is one of Shakespeare’s deepest tragedies, a story of “star-crossed” lovers famous throughout the globe, the expectations of laughter are high, in both text and performance. Shakespeare’s text reveals moments of humour and bawdy repartee, while this particular production makes the most of these moments through acting, the music played, as well as dance. Moreover, the expectations of the young audiences attending this production at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2009 (as seen in the live recording of the production, published on the site of Shakespeare’s Globe Online) are quite high. Therefore, young people attend the production with the preconception that they are going to see one of the most famous love stories, and their spirits are high and prepared for laughter even before the play begins. I argue that the audience’s expectations have changed throughout the centuries of performing Romeo and Juliet . Twenty-first-century audiences attend a well-known Shakespearean tragedy with the mental set of attending the production of a comedy, so they react to the moments of laughter in the play readily.
