AROUND
PLAY
This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of
Bankside’s third Globe Theatre with a variety of
events exploring the world Around Play.
Events for families include tale-telling in the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse, stories for half-term and our
second Shakespeare’s Telling Tales Festival. Young
actors from the UK’s leading drama schools will take
to the Globe stage in the annual Sam Wanamaker
Festival and present scenes by Shakespeare and his
contemporaries. Two students from India will join the
festival and present a scene from Julius Caesar in Hindi.
Our Read Not Dead series celebrates Philip Massinger
who succeeded Shakespeare and Fletcher as the King’s
Men’s principal playwright. Four plays written “Before
Shakespeare” will also be staged as performances
with scripts. Productions in the Sam Wanamaker
Playhouse include As You Like It, Thomas Nashe’s
Summer’s Last Will and Testament and John Lyly’s
The Woman in the Moon.
We are delighted to be working with Glyndebourne as
we preview its newly commissioned opera of Hamlet.
The composer, Brett Dean will join Simon RussellBeale, Ian McEwan, Ann Thompson and Tom Bird on
a panel exploring Hamlet and the Test of Time chaired
by Melvyn Bragg.
Renowned theatre producer Thelma Holt and celebrated
actor Adrian Lester will be two of the contributors to
this year’s series of Sam Conversations. Mr Lester
recently played Ira Aldridge in the West End. In
September we host an evening exploring the life and
career of the extraordinary Shakespearean actor who
died in 1867.
Pre-performance talks and short courses will
complement the plays in Emma Rice’s Summer
of Love season. Grace Ioppolo will give this year’s
Sam Wanamaker Fellowship Lecture on Shakespeare
and Us, John Wolfson’s annual talk will focus on
Shakespeare’s Sonnets while Kiernan Ryan will
explore Shakespeare and Social Justice.
Actors, scholars and the general public alike are
invited to participate in a range of workshops and
symposia exploring Edmund Spenser’s poetry,
Thomas Nashe’s prose, a Restoration adaptation
of The Tempest and the plays of John Marston!
Further events will be added during the course
of the year. Information will be found at:

STAGED
READINGS
The Read Not Dead ground-rules are simple. Actors
are given the play on a Sunday morning and present
it, script in hand, to an audience later that afternoon.
What follows is a shared spirit of adventure and
excitement for actors and audiences alike who sense
that they might be uncovering a neglected gem.
THE DUKE OF MILAN
by Philip Massinger (published 1623)
Sunday 26 February
Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, receives word
that his French allies have been defeated by the
Spanish armies of Charles V. He is told that he
must visit the Spanish Emperor and submit to his
rule. Unable to bear the thought of his wife Marcelia
marrying another if he dies in this fateful meeting,
he asks his favourite courtier, Francisco, to kill
Marcelia if he does not return from the Spanish camp
alive. Once the Duke leaves, however, events take a
treacherous turn...

Our Read Not Dead series this year celebrates
Philip Massinger who succeeded Shakespeare and
Fletcher as the King’s Men’s company playwright,
from 1625–1640. Other staged readings in the
Playhouse will include prose and verse writings
by Nashe and Edmund Spenser as well as four
pre-Shakespearean plays.
READ NOT DEAD
THE FALSE ONE
by Philip Massinger and John Fletcher
(published 1647)
Sunday 19 March
The drama follows the aftermath of the Roman
civil wars and the assassination of Pompey by his
treacherous assassin, Septimus. Confined and
controlled by her brother, Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra is
eager to introduce herself to the recently victorious
Caesar, hoping to trade her sexuality for power.
When his sister proves successful, Ptolemy tries to
divert Caesar’s attentions with a display of Egypt’s
opulence, leaving him caught between lust for
Cleopatra and desire for ostentatious wealth.

READ NOT DEAD
SAPPHO AND PHAO*
Anon (published 1589)
Sunday 14 May
by John Lyly (published 1584)
Sunday 27 August
Venus, goddess of love, and Fortune, goddess of fate
and downfall, argue over their respective powers.
To settle the matter, they decide to meddle in the
lives of mortal men and women. Who will cause the
most havoc? Descending on a royal court, the two
goddesses swiftly derail the course of everyday life
for the hapless courtiers under their sway.
Sappho is the virginal queen of Sicily, and the
goddess Venus is not happy about her virginity.
So she gives the beautiful local ferry-boy, Phao,
an even more beautiful make-over and causes
Sappho and Phao to fall in love. But marriage
between queens and ferry-boys is discouraged,
and the play follows Sappho’s attempts to sidestep
Venus’ plans for compulsory heterosexual union.
Will the lovers manage to fall out of love?
Join us for the staged reading of the winning entry
from the Back By Popular Demand Voting Event
(see page 9). The four plays chosen for this year’s
Back By Popular Demand will be either solo or
collaborative plays by Philip Massinger.
Venue: Sam Wanamaker Playhouse,
Shakespeare’s Globe
Set in northern Italy, Massinger’s last known play
presents a drama of love and war. Enamoured
with Matilda, the Princess of Mantua, the love-sick
Hortensio frequents the court in the hope of seeing
her. But Matilda’s hand in marriage is demanded
by Lorenzo, the Duke of Florence, who threatens
war should he be denied. When Gonzaga, the Duke
of Mantua, refuses, battle ensues and Lorenzo’s
Florentine forces are victorious. When Lorenzo finally
meets Matilda, however, something unexpected occurs.
THE ELDER BROTHER
Tickets: £15 (£12 Friends of Shakespeare’s
Globe / Student)
Time: 4.00pm
by Anthony Munday (published 1585)
Sunday 18 June
The scene is Naples, and the subject is courtship.
In this riotous comedy, the course of true love runs
anything but smoothly. Virginia loves Fedele, who
loves Victoria, who loves Fortunio – but who will end
up with whom? The Neapolitan wooers are compelled
to take drastic action to win over their beloveds...
MUCEDORUS*
Anon (published 1590)
Sunday 16 July
The most frequently performed and printed of early
modern plays, Mucedorus centres on its mysterious
title character, a lowly stranger who saves the
princess Amadine from a savage bear. This attracts
the envy of Amadine’s cowardly fiancé, Segasto, who
tries first to have Mucedorus killed, and then has him
banished from the court. Amadine flees the palace
to find him and soon runs into peril. Will Mucedorus
save Amadine? And will he reveal his true identity?

THE BASHFUL LOVER
RARE TRIUMPHS OF LOVE AND FORTUNE*
FEDELE AND FORTUNIO*
by Philip Massinger and John Fletcher
(published 1637)
Sunday 17 September
With his daughter Angelica having turned 14,
Lewis decides that it is time to find her a suitable
husband. His neighbour, Brisac, has two eligible
sons: the scholarly Charles (the eponymous elder
brother) and his younger, more worldly brother
Eustace. With the latter seeming the better match,
Lewis and Brisac plot to transfer Charles’ birthright
to his brother, while promising to leave him with a
suitable income. But when Charles and Angelica
meet and instantly fall in love, things do not go
quite the way their fathers had hoped.

Widowed and childless, Duke Cozimo has vowed
to leave his dukedom to his nephew Giovanni.
Giovanni has spent his childhood in the country
where he has fallen in love with Lidia – the epitome
of female goodness. His attempts to bring Lidia to
court arouse Cozimo’s suspicions and he sends his
favourite, Count Sanazarro, to give report of her. The

TERRORS OF THE NIGHT
THE UNNATURAL COMBAT
Against Prejudice
by Thomas Nashe (published 1594)
Saturday 20 May
by Philip Massinger (published 1639)
Sunday 29 October
An evening to celebrate Ira Aldridge
Tuesday 19 September
The candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse plays
host to an eerie staged reading of Thomas Nashe’s
unsettling and disturbing exploration of night terrors.
Nashe speaks in a variety of voices as his speaker
tries to understand whether humans are surrounded
by demons, witches and ghosts, or whether these
are real terrors unleashed by the devil in his futile
struggle with God. It will be the first time that Nashe’s
extraordinary text, which had a major influence on
the development of prose and drama in the age of
Shakespeare, has been read aloud by candlelight.
Read Not Dead on the Road returns to the beautiful
and intimate setting of the Gray’s Inn Hall for
Massinger’s tragedy.
A staged reading of Against Prejudice
by Tony Howard followed by a panel
discussion celebrating the life and career
of the extraordinary actor, Ira Aldridge
(1807 – 1867).
This event is part of a research project by
scholars from the University of Sussex and the
University of Newcastle. We would like to thank
the Arts and Humanities Research Council for
supporting this event.

and introduced by Dr Kate De Rycker (University

The Admiral of Marseilles, Malefort Senior, is on
trial for mysterious reasons when his son, Malefort
Junior, challenges him to a duel to settle the case.
Malefort Senior kills his son, mutilates his body and
is cleared of the charges against him. Meanwhile,
Beaufort Junior, the son of the governor, is in love
with Malefort Senior’s daughter, Theocrine. But he
is not the only one: realising his own desires for
his daughter, Malefort Senior asks his old friend
Montreville to keep her away from him, to which
Montreville readily agrees, desiring Theocrine
for himself...

One of this country’s most renowned actors and one
of this country’s most celebrated theatre producers
discuss their respective careers performing and
producing Shakespeare.
Adrian Lester, in conversation with
Professor Ayanna Thompson
SHAKESPEARE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
with Professor Kiernan Ryan
In Conversation with Thelma Holt
Thursday 25 May
Thursday 6 July
Sam Conversations take place in the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse.
Award winning actor and director, Adrian started
his career with a string of successful West End
productions including Company and Sweeney Todd,
before playing the lead role in Mike Nichol’s movie
Primary Colors. Other movie roles include Day After
Tomorrow and Case 39. Adrian is also well known for
his TV work including the BBC1 series Hustle. Title
roles Adrian has played include Henry V and Othello
at the National Theatre, Red Velvet in London and
New York and Hamlet in Peter Brook’s The Tragedy
Of Hamlet in London, Paris, Japan and New York.
Right from the start, Shakespeare had no qualms
about staging scenes in which the intolerable
human cost of social injustice is brought vividly
alive, astutely camouflaged as woes of long ago
and other lands. But the more he applied his mind
to the problem of social justice, the more profound
his grasp of its cause, and the source of its solution,
became. Through close readings of a wide range of
plays, including Titus Andronicus, The Merchant of
Venice, Measure for Measure, Macbeth and King
Lear, Kiernan Ryan shows how Shakespeare employs
the power of the imagination to foster the dream of a
truly just society.
Thelma Holt held an audience spellbound when she
spoke in the Playhouse last year about her work with
the late Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa. We have
invited her back to reflect further on her remarkable
career with Shakespeare in this country and abroad;
the British productions she has taken all around
the world and the leading international theatre
companies she has brought to Great Britain.

In the 1640 edition, some pronouns were altered
so that all of the love poems would appear to be
addressed to a woman. These changes were not
corrected for one hundred and forty years. When
Shakespeare’s original text was restored in 1780,
the arguments began.
John Wolfson will summarise the last two centuries
of scholarly disagreements over the Sonnets.
The talk will be illustrated by Globe Actors.
John Wolfson’s The Inn at Lydda was staged
in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse last year.

RESEARCH
IN ACTION
PERFORMING ELIZABETHAN POETRY:
SPENSER AND SHAKESPEARE
Monday 12 June
Early modern poets and playwrights were rarely far
from each other’s practice. Although we appreciate
the poetic qualities of Shakespeare’s lines, rarely do
we consider the performance value of early modern
poetry. What was the relationship between poetry
and drama? How did early modern drama affect or
connect with the extraordinary poetry written in the
same period? How important was Shakespeare for
Spenser, or Spenser for Shakespeare? This Research
in Action workshop will address and test these
questions by staging poetry written by the most
admired Elizabethan poet: Edmund Spenser, ‘the
Prince of Poets in his tyme’.
This event is a collaboration between Globe
Education and the International Spenser Society.

PERFORMING RESTORATION SHAKESPEARE:

EDITING IN ACTION:
THE OXFORD WORKS OF JOHN MARSTON
Wednesday 12 July
Time: 2.00pm – 6.00pm
Saturday 22 July
Thursday 13 July
Time: 10.00am – 2.00pm
When London theatres reopened in 1660,
Shakespeare’s plays were performed not as found
in the First Folio but in specially commissioned
adaptions. Now rarely staged, Restoration versions
of Shakespeare – with added music, song and scenic
effects – were extremely popular with audiences. In
these open workshops, we will explore scenes from
John Dryden and William Davenant’s adaptation of
The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island, the most
successful Shakespeare play in the Restoration era.
The events offer unique opportunities for the public to
engage with scholars, actors and musicians and learn
more about the history of Shakespeare on stage.
This event is part of ‘Performing Restoration
Shakespeare’, a three year project funded by the
Arts and Humanities Research Council and led by
Queen’s University Belfast.
The Oxford Works of John Marston, currently in
preparation, will be the first complete critical edition
of this neglected but fascinating playwright. Tonight’s
event is a work-in-progress, allowing the team of
14 international scholars to explore how works
such as The Malcontent and The Dutch Courtesan
translate into performance. The editors will ask for
your feedback as they investigate particular theatrical
puzzles in Marston’s comedies, satires and tragedies.

Caesar. Each performance can be enjoyed on its own,
or as a part of an overarching story in which the Globe
itself plays a role, changing the lives of a group of
young American actors, who find themselves and the
world they have left behind strangely reflected in the
mirror of Shakespeare’s plays.

This extraordinary dream play by England’s first great
playwright, was performed before Queen Elizabeth
I sometime around 1590. With bewildered lovers
suffering dizzying emotional transformations at the
hands of unseen supernatural forces in a night-time
woodland chase, it clearly inspired Shakespeare’s
own A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Now, The Dolphin’s Back revives and reimagines its
much praised 2014 production to play by candlelight
in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

SUMMER’S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
By Thomas Nashe (published 1592)
EDWARD’S BOYS
Tuesday 8 August – Saturday 12 August
(From King Edward VI School,
Stratford-Upon-Avon)
Directed by Perry Mills
The Oxford University Drama Society was founded
in 1885. It can boast an illustrious list of alumni
and many celebrated actors and directors have been
invited to work with the Society. Romeo and Juliet
was John Gielgud’s directing debut with Peggy
Ashcroft and Edith Evans in the cast. In 1966 the
Society invited Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
to take part in Dr Faustus.
Friday 29 September
Edward’s Boys have received academic and critical
acclaim for their work which is regarded as, ‘the
most sustained attempt to re-imagine what we think
boy companies could achieve.’ This is the third
performance by Edward’s Boys at Shakespeare’s
Globe, following the success of Galatea and The
Lady’s Trial in previous years.
This year, Edward’s Boys return to Bankside with a
full production of Thomas Nashe’s Summer’s Last
Will and Testament, Nashe’s only solo-authored play,
performed at the Archbishop’s Palace in Croydon.
A company Q&A will follow the performance.
This event is part of a research project by scholars
from the University of Sussex and the University
of Newcastle.

For the past two decades, student directors have made
a bid to take a Shakespeare production to Japan under
the auspices of the celebrated late Japanese theatre
director, Yukio Ninagawa.
Ninagawa, a member of the Globe Council and the
first Artistic Advisory Group, was never able to fulfil
his ambition to direct a play here before his death
in 2016.
Christopher White will direct As You Like It in
memory of Ninagawa. It will be the first OUDS
visit to Shakespeare’s Globe and the candlelit
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
‘It is a great tribute that this company can now perform
on Shakespeare’s territory and bring to life the work
of a playwright who for Ninagawa was the greatest
the world has ever seen.’ (Thelma Holt)

Family Performances:
Saturday 4 March

Sunday 23 April
Saturday 17 June
Who on earth was Shakespeare? As it turns out,
no one really knows!
‘Tell me my daughters...which of you shall we say
doth love us most?’
We don’t know how he became an actor or when he
began writing plays, we don’t even know if 23 April
was his actual birthday...
In an explosive retelling of the legend of Lear, king
of the Britons, Debs Newbold channels her love of
Shakespeare’s language to whip up a storm that will
snatch you from your seat. Created for a sell-out show
at The Hay Festival, toured internationally and
performed to acclaim at Shakespeare’s Globe, this
is a family storytelling event you will not want to miss.
‘I see a woman may be made a fool, if she had not
a spirit to resist.’
The Taming of the Shrew, Act III, scene 3.
But as he’s one of the most famous writers of all time,
maybe we should try and find out?
Our Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank
productions are created for young people. This
is an opportunity to attend a full-scale, fast-paced
90 minute performance within the glory of the
Globe Theatre.
Join our wonderful storyteller James Askill as he
tries to discover who the mysterious Mr William
Shakespeare really was.
Time: 11.00am –12.00 noon and 1.00pm – 2.00pm

TELLING TALES
A unique concert performance
narrated by Michael Morpurgo
28 – 30 July
Thursday 27 July and Friday 28 July
Shakespeare’s Telling Tales is our Family
Storytelling Festival.
A reporter sent to Venice to interview world-renowned
violinist Paolo Levi is told she can ask him anything
about his life and career, but on no account must she
ask him the Mozart question...
We all have our favourite stories, whatever age
we are. Perhaps it’s a much loved childhood character,
a thought provoking teenage fiction tale, or maybe
we’re most fond of a classic story.
The Mozart Question tells the story of this worldfamous performer who developed his passion for
music as a young child with the help of his teacher,
Benjamin.
Our weekend long festival celebrates the joy
of storytelling, with activities for all the family.
Shakespeare’s tales are brought to life by Globe
Education storytellers and our interactive workshops
create a lively and active way to learn more about
Shakespeare’s plays.
Alongside this story is that of his parents who were
both musicians too – Jewish prisoners surviving,
playing music in a concentration camp during the
Second World War.
Suitable for audiences from 8 years old this unique
performance of the story, narrated by Michael Morpurgo
and Alison Reid, is beautifully enhanced and embellished
with extracts from music by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach
and Vivaldi. Featuring Daniel Pioro on violin and string
quartet The Storyteller’s Ensemble.
Time: Thursday 27 July, 2.30pm and
