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.

  • 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.

  • What I Learn from Theatregoing: Review Haiku
    What I Learn from Theatregoing: Review Haiku Monica Prendergast1 University of Victoria [email protected] Abstract A haiku suite of theatre reviews and reflection on application to practice as drama educator and scholar. Keywords: poetic inquiry, theatre reviews, reflective practice, haiku 1 Biographical statement: Monica Prendergast is Associate Professor of drama/theatre education at the University of Victoria. She has published her poetic inquiry widely including two edited collections and two special issues. Monica also researches aspects of drama/theatre curriculum and pedagogy. Her latest project involves the development and implementation of a new performance studies curriculum for secondary students. What I Learn From Theatregoing: Review Haiku 292 Theatre is the most social of art forms, yet sharing the experience of theatre is often quite private. We might discuss the play we have seen for a few minutes with whomever has come with us and then life moves on. If we see a show alone (as I often do when travelling) our response is a soliloquy; a silent dialogue with ourselves. We may read, see or hear a review and allow the critic his or her privileged public monologue that is rarely responded to or challenged. Here, I invite you to share your responses to any or all of these review haiku created in response to theatre productions I have seen in Toronto, London, Stratford-Upon- Avon and New York in the past two to three years. I have been a freelance theatre reviewer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation since 2006. For over nine years now I have shared my responses to local theatre and opera productions with listeners of CBC Radio’s On the Island morning program.
