This new production at the Vaudeville Theatre was staged by the Classic Spring Theatre Company led by Dominic Dromgoole, former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe. Director Kathy Burke brings together a talented comedic cast including the Olivier Award-winning actress Samantha Spiro as Mrs Erlynne, Kevin Bishop as Lord Darlington, and guest starring Jennifer Saunders as the Duchess of Berwick, marking her return to the West End stage for the first time in over twenty years. The day of Lady Windermere’s birthday party, and all is perfectly in order. Until her friend Lord Darlington plants a seed of suspicion. Is her husband having an affair? And will the other woman really attend the party? Lady Windermere’s Fan explores the ambiguity of upper class morality and the fragile position of women in society in the late Victorian era in one of Wilde’s most popular and witty plays. The Oscar Wilde #WildeWednesdays Encore Cinema Season continues with AN IDEAL HUSBAND starring real-life father and son Edward and Freddie Fox, with Frances Barber, Sally Bretton, Nathaniel Parker and Susan Hampshire, followed by THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST starring Sophie Thompson.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Annual Review 2011- 2012
    ANNUAL REVIEW2012 2012 was a phenomenal year for the Globe In an Olympic year packed with events throughout the capital, Globe to Globe, our contribution to the London 2012 Festival and the Cultural Olympiad, distinguished itself by its sheer scale, variety and creative ambition. It brought a huge new audience to the theatre and created a wonderfully festive multilingual showcase for Shakespeare, the Globe and London. The festival was recognised in January 2013 with a rare special award from the Critics’ Circle. Our main theatre season, which marked the triumphant return of Mark Rylance and of Original Practices to the Globe, garnered awards and achieved excellent attendance figures. But this was a big season for artistic activity beyond Bankside too, with two West End transfers, a much more extensive touring programme and international premieres of our productions on screen. All this earned us the ‘London Theatre of the Year’ award from The Stage. We are pleased to report that these achievements did nothing to compromise our educational and other activities. This was another ambitious year of teaching and public events and of developments in print and digital publishing. 2012 also brought enhancements to our exhibition and tour and saw the steady WELCOME! expansion of our retail, catering and hospitality operations. But perhaps most excitingly of all, following decades of planning and a period of intense fundraising, work began on the construction of our indoor theatre, now named the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. All this was achieved without government funding and in a climate of financial austerity. ‘ The Globe to Globe season was a one-off, once-in-a- lifetime event that changed the cultural landscape of globe to globe London theatreland in every sense for six weeks last summer.

  • Shakespeare and Gender: the ‘Woman’S Part’
    Shakespeare and gender: the ‘woman’s part’ Article written by:Clare McManus Themes:Shakespeare’s life and world, Gender, sexuality, courtship and marriage Published:15 Mar 2016 In Shakespeare's day, female parts were played by male actors, while more recently, actresses have taken on some of his most famous male roles such as Hamlet and Julius Caesar. Clare McManus explores gender in the history of Shakespeare performance. Shakespearean performance is an arena for exploring desire, sexuality and gender roles and for challenging audience expectations, especially when it comes to the female performer. Actresses have long claimed their right to Olympian roles like Hamlet: Sarah Bernhardt’s 1899 performance sits in a long tradition, most recently added to by Maxine Peake in her performance at Manchester’s Royal Exchange in 2014. Bernhardt’s performance divided audiences: this was certainly at least partly to do with the crossing of gender boundaries, with one early London reviewer revealing how polarised ideas of gender could be when he complained that ‘A woman is positively no more capable of beating out the music of Hamlet than is a man of expressing the plaintive and half-accomplished surrender of Ophelia’.[1] That said, it had become increasingly common by the turn of the 20th century for star actresses to take male parts, often called ‘breeches’ roles, and it is possible that one difficulty for London audiences lay in the fact that Bernhardt’s Hamlet was not Shakespeare’s text but a prose translation. Over a century later, Maxine Peake’s interpretation was widely praised, though reviewers still focussed on the presence of a female actor in the role, contextualising it against the rich history of female Hamlets and interrogating the opportunities open to women in theatre in the early 21st century.[2] Postcard of Sarah Bernhardt as Hamlet in 1899 The French actress, Sarah Bernhardt, crossed gender boundaries when she played the male hero in Hamlet.
