George Fouracres

burbThe Royal Court was the first stage for Lucy Wade’s biting satire Posh, which focused on the lack of consequences of the poor and entitled behaviour of certain members of the upper classes. That was back in 2010 and it can be argued that amount of material to work with on the subject is even greater that ever. Unfortunately, Rory Mullarkey’s new play wastes every opportunity to say anything novel.

The Royal Court Theatre has announced that Amy Booth-Steel, Natalie Dew, Karina Fernandez, George Fouracres, Laurie Kynaston, Philipp Mogilnitskiy and Fenella Woolgar have been cast in Mates in Chelsea. Learn more about the production and find out how to get tickets here!

With the swashbuckling zeal of a rowdy tavern brawl and all the brash bravado you can shake a bulging cod piece at, the Sean Holmes helmed The Comedy of Errors crashes onto the Globe stage to start the summer season with a bang.

After two years of absolute doom and uncertainty, 2022 began with a sprinkle of glimmer on the horizon. Masked up and cautious, we came back to theatres properly. Admittedly and unfortunately, I found the return underwhelming and gave very few glowing 5-star reviews. I still loved a good number of productions, but it’s a far cry from struggling to whittle it down to a Top 10. Nonetheless, it was an exciting year.

We have officially opened our fifth Shakespeare play in fifteen months. That’s arguably a bit too much Shakespeare, isn’t it?

Love Island meets Below Deck in Benidorm in this OTT aestival pastiche. Prospero dons a speedo. Questionable tattoos cover a few of the cast. The most unpredictable of twists stretches the limits of copyright infringement. It’s absolutely bonkers, but it works! Holmes delivers a modern, refreshing, and unconventional take.

Rehearsal images have been released for The Tempest running this summer at Shakespeare’s Globe from 22 July - 22 October.  Check out the photos here!

Shakespeare's Globe has announced the cast and company for a new production of The Tempest running this summer from 22 July - 22 October, directed by Sean Holmes. Shakespeare's tumultuous tale of reckoning and redemption will be brought to life by the Globe Ensemble, who have been thrilling audiences in the critically acclaimed season opening production of Much Ado About Nothing which runs until 23 October.

A talented cast and insightful direction steer Much Ado About Nothing towards success.

As if the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse wasn’t already atmospheric enough, it feels like a special treat to witness their first candlelit Hamlet. After directing the colourful A Midsummer Night’s Dream just across the courtyard at the Globe, Sean Holmes goes darker and moodier with our favourite revenge tragedy. George Fouracres is the title character. Known mostly for his comedic work (he was Flute in Holmes’s Dream), he proves himself an eclectic actor and an electric Brummie anti-hero. The play’s not the thing here, Fouracres is.

The role of Hamlet will be played by George Fouracres, who delighted audiences with his performances in the 2021 Summer Season productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night, also directed by Sean.

Shakespeare's Globe has announced the Summer Season 2022 full of pomp, pageantry, politics, and power.
