    AUGUST 2013 Welcome to Welcome to Double Indemnity! It is our pleasure to welcome director John Gould Rubin to The Old Globe for the first time to helm this exciting production. The creative staff John has assembled to bring Double Indemnity to the stage represents a true A-list of great American designers. Both scenic designer Christopher Barreca and lighting designer Stephen Strawbridge are international superstars in their fields. Both have designed hundreds DOUG GATES of productions in every possible area of the Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. American theatre: on Broadway, Off Broadway, in regional theatres, as well as in the worlds of opera and dance. Both head design departments at major universities: Chris at California Institute of the Arts and Stephen at Yale University, where they have a profound influence on the next generation of designers. Costume designer David Israel Reynoso has not only worked at theatres across the country, he recently won an OBIE Award for his work on Punchdrunk’s influential immersive piece Sleep No More. Plus, David now calls San Diego his home, which is a great boon to our local theatrical ecosystem. What’s more, this design team, which also includes Elizabeth Rhodes, Keith Skretch and Kwan-Fai Lam, isn’t an anomaly. The Globe has long been recognized as a national leader in stage design, and our technical artisans — the behind-the-scenes wizards who make those designs a reality — are cherished by the designers they support as among the finest in the American theatre. We are pleased to celebrate them and their achievements, which are so central to the Globe’s continuing success.

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 2013 Welcome To
    June 2013 Welcome to The 2013 Summer Shakespeare Festival marks Adrian Noble’s fourth and final year as Festival Artistic Director. We want to take this opportunity to thank not only Adrian (see Barry’s note on page 23) and his fellow director this season, Ian Talbot, but also the truly excellent repertory company Adrian has built at the Globe over the past four years. These actors make a unique commitment to the Globe; from first rehearsal to closing night, they spend over DOUG GATES five months with us. The process of rehearsing Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. three plays simultaneously and then performing a different one every night requires mental focus, transformative skill and the kind of trust that turns a cast into a company. They accomplish this feat with the support of some of the best stage managers and crew in the business, and we salute them as well. This also seems the perfect moment to reaffirm Shakespeare’s central place, not just in our history, but also in the future of The Old Globe. Next season, with Barry’s production of The Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare’s work will return indoors at the Globe for the first time in more than a decade. In the seasons ahead, we look forward to exploring Shakespeare on all three of the Globe’s stages, alongside the world classics, new American writing and musicals that make up the broad range of our programming. We are also committed to building new platforms, finding new ways to bring Shakespeare and our other work out into the San Diego community, making the finest plays ever written accessible to everyone in America’s finest city.

  • 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.
