Shakespeare at 450
APRIL – OCTOBER 2014
2
Shakespeare At 450 Globe Education’s first season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse celebrates the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth with family events, staged readings, theatrical experiments and lectures from leading Shakespeare scholars. The season opens with a stunning candlelit production of John Lyly’s witty and beautiful Galatea presented by the Edwards’ Boys from Shakespeare’s own grammar school. Read Not Dead staged readings in the Playhouse include plays by Lope de Vega and Nathan Field as well as Ben Jonson’s Every Man in His Humour in which Shakespeare is listed as one of the actors. You can help choose the last reading of the season. Four pairs of directors and scholars will argue the case for reviving one of four plays before the audience is asked to vote. Candlelight, cue-scripts and Original Pronunciation will be three of the hurdles facing the Read Not Dead cast who will work with David and Ben Crystal on a staged reading of Macbeth as Shakespeare might have heard it. David, Ben and the cast will also present two illustrated lectures exploring 16th and 17th century poetry and music in Original Pronunciation. Events for families and children include Story Days and Muse of Fire – a promenade performance in the Globe Exhibition which will end in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Children and adults can direct their own Shakespeare scenes online with an exciting new interactive digital tool, Staging It, launched on 23 April.
Jonathan Bate is this year’s Sam Wanamaker Fellow and, for the first time, the Fellowship Lecture will take place in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Other scholars contributing to the Shakespeare at 450 lecture series in the Playhouse include Stanley Wells, Tiffany Stern, James Shapiro, Lisa Jardine, Andrew Gurr and Farah Karim-Cooper. The Playhouse will also be the venue for Research in Action, a series in which scholars and theatre makers explore staging issues relating to indoor playhouses. The audiences will become part of these live experiments. Some of the world’s leading Shakespeare scholars will also set the scene for the plays in the Globe Theatre season. John Wolfson and others will offer Perspectives on plays old and new and members of the Globe Theatre companies will meet audiences after performances at Talking Theatre events. Please join us inside or out this summer.

A day with lyly John Lyly and Boy Actors Sunday 27 April Once more popular than Shakespeare, John Lyly fell out of favour and almost into obscurity in the late 17th century. Globe Education has been spearheading a Lyly revival with the help of scholars and theatre artists. All of Lyly’s plays have been directed by James Wallace as part of Globe Education’s Read Not Dead project. The Lyly celebration begins with a day of public workshops and talks from actors, directors and leading Lyly scholars: Andy Kesson, Lucy Munro, Peter Saccio, Leah Scragg and James Wallace.
Time 12.00 noon – 6.00pm Performance Time 7.00pm Venue Nancy Knowles Lecture Theatre and Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe Tickets £50 (£40 FoSG/Student) Includes a ticket to the performance of Galatea

Galatea Edward’s Boys (From King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon) Directed by Perry Mills Sunday 27 April A stunning candlelit production of John Lyly’s provocative and delightful comedy Galatea will open Globe Education’s season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Lyly wrote the play in the late 1580s. It was first staged for Queen Elizabeth I by the Children of St Paul’s – a renowned troupe of boy actors of the time. The Edward’s Boys have gained their own international reputation for their staging of plays written in the 16th and 17th centuries for boys companies. The production is the culmination of a day of talks and discussions that will convince you that John Lyly’s work has been unjustifiably neglected.

Tickets only available with ticket to A Day With Lyly.

READ NOT DEAD Read Not Dead was launched in 1995 and brings actors, audiences and scholars together to explore and celebrate the plays performed on London stages between 1567–1642.
Amends For Ladies
About 400 plays of the period have survived in print.
A city comedy in which a maid, wife and widow have their virtue questioned by the men who claim to love them. Satirical and witty, the play questions the association of women with inconstancy.
The ground-rules are simple. Actors are given a script on a Sunday morning and work with a director to get the play up on its feet – with entrances and exits, token costume and music if needed. They present it, script in hand, to an audience at 4.00pm. These are not intended to be polished productions. However, there is a shared spirit of adventure and excitement for actors and audiences who sense that they might be uncovering a hidden gem. Over 200 plays have been staged to date and all are recorded for archive.
by Nathan Field Sunday 18 May
This play launched the Read Not Dead project in 1995 and has been chosen as the first Read Not Dead staged reading in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
Every Man in his Humour by Ben Jonson Sunday 29 June Jonson’s comedy was published in two versions with an Italian and a London setting. The Folio version was set in London with Shakespeare listed as playing the part of Old Kno’well. The late Professor Glynne Wickham made a guest appearance and took on Shakespeare’s role when the play was staged once before as a Read Not Dead reading. Professor Stanley Wells will play Old Kno’well in this staged reading.

When the truth emerges, her jilted suitor Ottavio and brother Julio plot to avenge such an injury to the family’s honour. With music from Coro Cervantes in memory of Michael Jacobs.

READ NOT DEAD: ON THE ROAD At Penshurst Place AND GARDENS
Love’s Victory by Lady Mary Wroth (c.1620) Sunday 8 June Globe Education’s celebrated staged reading series has hit the road touring venues (and fields) nationwide including Glastonbury, Wilderness and Latitude festivals and to the Halls of the Inner Temple and Gray’s Inn, London. This summer Read Not Dead On The Road visits Penshurst Place, home of the Sidney family since 1552, for an exclusive premiere performance of Love’s Victory by Lady Mary Wroth, the niece of the famous poet, courtier and soldier, Sir Philip Sidney. Only one complete manuscript of Love’s Victory survives. Known as the Penshurst Manuscript, it has remained in the ownership of the Sidney family since it was written by Lady Mary Wroth circa 1620. A facsimile copy edited by Professor Michael Brennan, has been published as The 1st Viscount De L’Isle VC KG Roxburghe Club Edition.
Important information: Please note a ticket to the Read Not Dead reading grants you admission to the grounds from 4.00pm on the day of performance. For access to the Penshurst Place and Gardens prior to 4.00pm please purchase a Penshurst Place and Gardens ticket. Read Not Dead ticket holders are offered a reduced rate for access to Penshurst Place and Gardens (£5 per person) which is to be purchased at Penshurst on the day of the performance.

EXPLORING ORIGINAL PRONUNCIATION Professor David Crystal OBE and Ben Crystal In 2004, David Crystal was Master of Pronunciation at the Globe and helped reconstruct the accent of Shakespeare’s day so that the Globe Theatre company could present an acclaimed production of Romeo and Juliet in Original Pronunciation, or OP. It was the first time the sound had been heard on a London stage for 400 years. Since then, plays, poems and songs from Shakespeare’s time have been performed in theatres around the world in OP. Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar have already been presented in a “new-old sound”. This series provides an opportunity to hear extracts from Shakespeare – and some of his contemporaries – as you’ve never heard them before, in the beautiful acoustic of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. From play extracts, sonnets, and songs to a Read Not Dead staged reading of Macbeth, the events will be presented by David Crystal, directed by Ben Crystal, curator of the British Library’s CD of Original Pronunciation and the foremost developer of OP practice since the Globe’s first experiments a decade ago.
12
Original Pronunciation in Words Thursday 10 July An introduction to Original Pronunciation by David Crystal, discussing the history and reasoning behind bringing the accent back to life. Speeches, dialogues and scenes from across Shakespeare’s canon and his contemporaries will be performed in OP by Ben Crystal and members of his Ensemble. Come to hear an exploration of familiar – and less familiar – pieces, spoken in a new-old sound, performed in a new-old space.
Original Pronunciation in Song Thursday 17 July Rhyme is a main source in rediscovering the accent of Shakespeare’s time. David Crystal examines the songs and poems from Shakespeare, madrigals from his contemporaries, and poetry from both. The evening’s songs and poetry will be staged by Ben Crystal, performed by members of his Ensemble. It will feature new scores by Sam Amidon and Hazel Askew, with live music examples from the Askew Sisters.
READ NOT DEAD: MACBETH by William Shakespeare Sunday 20 July Co-ordinated by Ben Crystal with Professor David Crystal OBE This particularly experimental staged reading will be presented in candlelight with actors using only cue-scripts. The performance will also be in Original Pronunciation reconstructed especially by David Crystal for this one-off performance in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Working to simulate the dynamics of Shakespeare's company, the rehearsed reading will combine a new-old accent, theatre, company, and music, showing one of Shakespeare's greatest and bloodiest tragedies in shimmering new light. A panel Q&A session will follow the reading, with David Crystal, Ben Crystal, Rob Gander (director of Hamlet in OP, 2011), and members of the cast. Time 4.00pm Venue Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe Time 7.00pm Venue Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe
Tickets £20 (£15 FoSG/Student) Please note that there will not be a Rarely Played seminar before the staged reading of Macbeth

JOHN WOLFSON’S ANNUAL PERSPECTIVE Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar – Was it a two-part play? Thursday 24 July Julius Caesar is the only one of Shakespeare’s plays which builds to two climaxes: first, the death of Caesar, and then the death of Brutus. Between Acts III and IV there is a great lapse in continuity, as well as a distinct change in the play’s style and direction. There are several badly needed scenes which are omitted. In his annual talk John Wolfson will share his reasons for believing that Julius Caesar was originally designed as a two part play and was cut down at a later date by Shakespeare or some other writer. Mr Wolfson will be assisted in his talk by two Globe actors.

Time 6.00pm – 7.00pm Venue Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe Tickets £10 (£8 FoSG/Student)
PERSPECTIVES These platform discussions provide a unique insight into the season’s new writes.
The Last Days of Troy Thursday 19 June Simon Armitage’s dramatisation The Last Days of Troy completes Homer’s Iliad, revealing a world locked in a cycle of conflict and revenge, of east versus west, and a dangerous mix of pride, lies and self-deception. Join the award-winning poet and author as he recounts his own journey in bringing this fabled war to its brutal conclusion.
Holy Warriors Saturday 16 August
Holy Warriors is a kaleidoscopic tale of holy war and revenge in the struggle for Jerusalem, taking in over two millennia of bloody conflict. Writer David Eldridge discusses his experience of writing for the Globe Theatre and the influences behind Holy Warriors.
Pitcairn Saturday 27 September A brutal telling of the colonisation of the remote island of Pitcairn by Fletcher Christian and the Bounty mutineers. Pitcairn vividly explores the conflict between personal freedoms and public responsibilities. Richard Bean talks about his sources and reasons for writing the play.
Doctor Scroggy's War Friday 3 October Howard Brenton’s epic new play is a hilarious and moving sideways look at the First World War, a hundred years after its outbreak. Howard Brenton discusses his experiences of writing for this unique theatre space and the opportunities it offers.
