Delivering thrills and chills, the Globe's winter season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse sees director Jude Christian take on Titus Andronicus, Holly Race Roughan refresh Henry V and Sean Holmes present a first for the theatre in the form of an indoor-outdoor take on The Winter's Tale.
Shakespeare’s Globe joins forces with consistently good Headlong theatre company and Leeds Playhouse to produce a fresh take on Shakespeare’s eerily relevant history play Henry V, about nationalism and a desire to conquer at any cost. The vision of Headlong’s artistic director Holly Race Roughan, this Henry V focuses on the single-minded pursuit of the King and how this relates to what it means to be British.
Steel yourself: a new production of Shakespeare’s first and most gory tragedy Titus Andronicus is getting 2023 off to a stomach-churching start in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. It won’t be all blood-thirsty horror and no poignance, though, when exciting director Jude Christian (Dick Whittington) is at the helm.
In a monumental first for Shakespeare’s Globe, associate artistic director Sean Holmes (The Tempest, Hamlet, Twelfth Night) presents a production of The Winter’s Tale that makes use of both the theatre’s candle-lit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and its outdoor auditorium, which usually remains closed in winter. The audience travels with the story from the stiff court of Sicilia in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse to the more care-free, pastoral lands of Bohemia in the Globe Theatre – presumably come wind, rain or snow.
