by Debbie Gilpin
- Aug 1, 2018
Michelle Terry's first season at the Globe continues apace, with what some will have marked out as a highlight since its announcement back in January. Mark Rylance returns to the Globe stage, once again directed by Claire van Kampen, starring as Iago alongside American actor Andre Holland in the title role. This is another strand in Terry's Emilia arc, which will culminate in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's new play about Shakespeare's 'Dark Lady', Emilia Bassano.
BWW Review: AS YOU LIKE IT, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin
- Jul 11, 2018
Reunited following successful runs of The Lorax, the director-composer team of Max Webster and Charlie Fink bring a new version of the Shakespeare classic to the picturesque (and rather appropriate) setting of Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. This well-loved comedy is in demand this year, with it being this year's Shakespeare in the Squares play of choice, and a production also making up part of Michelle Terry's inaugural season at Shakespeare's Globe - coincidentally, the last Shakespeare play performed at this theatre saw Terry starring in Henry V. This particular piece is ideal seasonal fare, however, with love, laughter and hijinks overflowing in the Forest of Arden.
A Role By Any Other Name: Gender in Shakespeare and Making Room for Women
by Julie Musbach
- Jul 7, 2018
Earlier this week news broke that Glenda Jackson, fresh from her triumphant, Tony-winning run in Three Tall Women, will next don the crown as Shakespeare's tragic monarch King Lear. Broadway is making much ado about something and understandably so. New York stages haven't seen much gender-swapped or gender-blind casting of Shakespeare, but take a peek across the pond to find a revolution of sorts in the interpretation of the Bard's work.

by Cindy Marcolina
- May 31, 2018
Third in line in Michelle Terry's first season as Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe is The Two Noble Kinsmen. Directed by Barrie Rutter, the Shakespeare-Fletcher collaboration becomes a lighthearted and wonderfully ironic piece of theatre.
BWW Review: AS YOU LIKE IT/HAMLET, Shakespeare's Globe
by Marianka Swain
- May 18, 2018
Michelle Terry's first season as Artistic Director of the Globe will be carefully scrutinised. Emma Rice's contentious exit raised important questions about the venue's purpose, its balancing of tradition and innovation, new and returning audiences, and about how we engage with Shakespeare in the 21st century.
Guest Blog: Tom Latter On Maintaining The Relevance Of Shakespeare
by Guest Blog: Tom Latter
- May 7, 2018
Is Shakespeare still relevant? Given I am one of four directors of a Shakespeare-focused theatre company, I am bound to answer "yes". But for all of the box office success (one in every 10 theatre tickets sold, according to a 2014 report), Shakespeare is still viewed by many as elitist.
