Shakespeare is in The Old Globe’s DNA. For nearly 80 years, the Bard has been central to this theatre’s identity. He’s not just a part of our history, he’s also our house playwright, an essential part of our mission, and a yardstick by which we measure the new work we develop on our stages. As we continue to reach out into the community and serve new audiences, Shakespeare will be our most important voice. DOUG GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director We hope that Thinking Shakespeare Live! will Barry Edelstein. help you hear and understand that voice more clearly, perhaps helping you to start a new relationship with the great playwright or learn new ways to spend time with him.

In the time ahead The Old Globe will be redoubling its commitment to humanities programming. This means more lectures, more exhibits, more opportunities for conversation. We look forward to exploring new and innovative ways to foster engagement between our audience and the art we make, and we hope to see you there!
