The Globe touring ensemble are bringing As You Like It, The Tempest & A Midsummer Night's Dream to the Globe. Haven't seen The Tempest yet so that's another one ticked off my list.

Taming of the Shrew done that way is just a gimmick and not an original one either. I want to see a properly rehearsed piece that is fully considered. Not an experiment that should be left in the rehearsal room.

Oh rubbish. What if you get one a less successful version of the casting. If the day I go the person I booked to see is playing minor role I'll be unamused. Think if you're going to do this you need to go down the route of setting dates so people can chose. How many variations are there going to be? Could be great or many levels of less so.
WBW casting is good, nay have booked the wrong play.

The ovid one sounds good. And it's been a couple of years since I last saw much ado, so a good cast may attract me to that. Will give the rest a miss

Romeo is played by Alfred Enoch and Nadia Nadarajah will be the Globe's first ever deaf/sign language Cleopatra

I think that is an excellent bag. Lots for tourists and GCSE students. 🤪

Now that the pendulum has swung to extreme minimalist sets for the last two seasons after the Rice era hoping for a little more staging this year.
The season is full of the old favourites and will likely be popular and looking forward to a hot sunny summer of the Greatest Hits with A&C for depth.
Who would be a Shakesperian AD, one chooses the popular, one backed into a corner having to complete the cycle and neither can win.

I'm a sucker for a cheap ticket, live in theatrical hope and always forget just how much my legs hurt and how stressful I find trying to guess the groundling queue, so anyone know if there's a season planner or do I really have to look up each play and note down the dates everything is on? I've never got my head round their newish website.

What’s happened to this place?... |

Just thought you would all love to know the heights of erudition the Globe mag has achieved :
On R&J it pronounces :
“The prominence of ‘and’ in the titles might cause one to reflect on how exactly the characters are joined together.”
I kid you not.
