Claire van Kampen News

The all-male Shakespeare's Globe repertory productions of William Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT and RICHARD III have recouped their $3.1 million capitalization costs this week, officially entering the hit column. The productions, which opened on Broadway on November 10, 2013 to ecstatic and universal critical praise, have been playing to capacity crowds at Broadway's Belasco Theatre (111 West 44th Street), where they have broken the house record several times.

Audiences at yesterday's performance of Twelfth Night were also treated to a cup of mulled wine, in celebration of the Feast of the Epiphany, the 'twelfth night' of Christmas that gives the play its title. The performance also concluded with a surprise appearance by the Green Man, a figure of pagan myths and folklore, who is a traditional fixture of British Twelfth Night celebrations. Company member Dominic Brewer donned the green garb and evergreen foliage of the traditional character.

The all-male Shakespeare's Globe repertory productions of William Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT and RICHARD III, which have broken the box office record at the Belasco Theatre and earned across the board ecstatic critical praise, will be extended by popular demand for an additional two weeks. The productions, which are directed by Tim Carroll and designed by Jenny Tiramani, with music by Claire van Kampen, will play through February 16, 2014 at the Belasco Theatre (111 West 44th Street).

London's Shakespeare's Globe Company eschews modern theatrics and replicates period productions of The Bard's classics.
