Performances with scripts of plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries

saturday 23 – saturday 30 march Specially created for schools, Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank is designed to promote active and practical approaches to the teaching of Shakespeare. Thanks to the support of Deutsche Bank, over 60,000 young people have been given the opportunity to see high quality, 90 minute productions of Shakespeare’s work on the Globe stage.

Robert Armin

This city comedy was performed by the Children of the King’s Revels, who played at the indoor Whitefriars theatre. With a character based on a famous real-life ‘natural fool’, and with much music, dance and song, this play offers a glimpse into the distinctive world of indoor Jacobean theatre.

4.00pm

Supported by

Gorboduc (per 1562)

Sunday 17 February First performed in 1607 at the Blackfriars theatre, The Knight of the Burning Pestle was post-modern before the term was even invented.

After tousling with the Prologue, a Citizen and his Wife climb onstage and interrupt the play. It becomes increasingly difficult to see who the real objects of ridicule are and where the boundaries of the play begin and end.

VENUE

Inner Temple, London

Gorboduc was the first English play to be written in blank verse – a radical departure from “the jigging veins of rhyming mother-wits” of the plays that came before.

It audaciously warns the young Queen of the dangers of misgovernment and depicts a family and a country torn apart by civil war.

This staged reading of Gorboduc will take place in the Inner Temple and will once again be performed by lawyers.

Globe Education is indebted to Benchers, Members and Students of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple for supporting this staged reading.

Henry Glapthorne

Learn more about each Read Not Dead reading with these inspiring and engaging introductions by Shakespeare scholars.

A ticket to the corresponding Read Not Dead performance is included.

First performed at the indoor Salisbury Court Theatre by the King’s Revels company in 1635.

This lively Caroline tragicomedy explores themes of sexual jealousy and matriarchal ambition, juxtaposing elements of dark tragedy against absurd comedy. It ends in a curious, but strangely restorative ‘death masque’.

Events

Norton and Sackville were both members of the Inner Temple and wrote Gorboduc for fellow members to perform in front of Queen Elizabeth I on one of her visits to the Inner Temple Hall.

Staged readings include Gorboduc, England’s first blank verse play written for lawyers at Inner Temple. Lawyers revisit the play at Inner Temple for the first time since 1562.

Globe Musicians play Globe Music in the Music, Ho! concert in the UnderGlobe and theatre music is the focus of a number of talks and demonstrations, including the Sam Wanamaker Fellowship Lecture, given by David Lindley. Theatre music is also the subject of a major international academic conference at the Globe in May.

• Over £1,000,000 worth of tickets given away free in six years thanks to Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank

In Shakespeare’s own time, the acquisition of the Blackfriars indoor theatre offered new musical challenges and opportunities, and ever since, music has contributed significantly to the theatrical experience of the plays. Professor David Lindley, author of Shakespeare and Music, will trace some of the many transformations in the relationship between audience, actor and play that have been generated by music through the centuries.

Families are invited to rehearse jigs and songs in the warmth of the Sackler Studios before performing them on the Globe stage. So if you have always wanted to tread the Globe boards come to Bankside and Stamp, Rave and Fret.
