Events for 2016
Introduction
It is hard to believe that Shakespeare’s death wasn’t
acknowledged in London in 1616 with a procession, a poem or even an epitaph in print.
In 2016 every major London cultural organisation is
contributing to a year–long Shakespeare 400 festival.
Indeed the 400th anniversary will be commemorated in theatres across the world.
1616: A Momentous Year will, I hope, attract
families and individuals, schoolchildren and scholars,
Shakespeare lovers and Shakespeare sceptics.
It includes our first Shakespeare story–telling weekend,
a puppet show, and Twelfth Night for family audiences;
a Kabuki Shakespeare and a range of summer schools;
pre–and post performance events to complement
Emma Rice’s first exciting season as artistic director;
a series of streamed Sam Talks from the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse; an international conference
for teachers and a World Shakespeare Congress for scholars.
But Shakespeare’s death wasn’t the only significant
theatrical event of 1616. Ben Jonson audaciously
published a Folio edition of his Works. Playwright
Francis Beaumont, theatre impresario Philip Henslowe,
Spain’s Cervantes and the Chinese playwright Tang
Xianzu also died that year.
Two exhibitions will feature Henslowe/Alleyn
documents from the collection at Dulwich College and the Shakespeare First Folio recently discovered in St-Omer, France.
Globe Education’s Read Not Dead series will celebrate
Jonson’s Folio plays, a play by Beaumont, English
plays influenced by Cervantes and plays promoted by
Henslowe. Two student actors from China will perform
a scene by Tang Xianzu in Mandarin at the Sam
Wanamaker Festival.
Our momentous year ends with a conference on
Cultures of Mortality and a staged reading of Webster’s
The White Devil. Any hint of bleakness will be upstaged
by a joyous concert in December. Choirs of 3 – 93
year olds will sing in celebration of Shakespeare,
Southwark and the Globe.

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 Devil is an Ass
Pandosto: The Triumph of Time
Set in the vice-ridden world of early Jacobean
London, Jonson’s dark comedy follows the young
demon, Pug, as he carries out Satan’s work.
by Robert Greene
Sunday 7 February
We continue our exploration of sources for
Shakespeare’s plays by staging a dramatised reading
of Robert Greene’s 1588 Pandosto – the novel which
inspired The Winter’s Tale.
This performance with scripts will be directed by Tom Cornford whose brilliant staging of the source of Othello last year was widely acclaimed.

READ NOT DEAD
READ NOT DEAD
Pandosto, King of Bohemia, is racked with jealousy
and accuses his wife Bellaria of adultery with his
childhood friend, the King of Sicilia. In his rage he
sends their daughter, Fawnia, to die at sea, an act
which causes the death of his wife and son. Fawnia’s
fate hangs in the balance as she drifts ashore in Sicilia.
by Ben Jonson
Sunday 17 April
The Devil is an Ass was first performed in 1616
– too late to be included in the folio edition of
Ben Jonson’s Works.
Pug quickly realises that his wickedness is no match
for the debauchery and immorality that already governs
the city. Even Fabian Fitzdottrel, his chosen victim,
seems unreceptive to Pug’s torments. Could that be
because Fitzdottrel is already under attack from some
very human devils attempting to steal his money and his wife?
Time: 4.00pm
Venue: Sackler Studios, Shakespeare’s Globe

Greene’s romance explores the corrosive effect of jealousy on a ruler, his family and his kingdom. 5

Read Not Dead:
Back By Popular Demand
The coxcomb
Sunday 2 October
by Francis Beaumont & John Fletcher
Sunday 13 November
The plays for this year’s Back by Popular Demand
voting event honours the 400th anniversary of Philip
Henslowe’s death. All the plays chosen were produced
at Henslowe’s Rose.
We conclude this year’s celebration of Cervantes’
influence on English drama with the witty and
raucously funny The Coxcomb inspired by an episode from Don Quixote.
Other events celebrating Henslowe’s Rose include
lectures by Grace Ioppolo, and David Crystal, an
international symposium, a stage reading of Marlowe’s
Dr Faustus in original pronunciation and an exhibition
of theatrical treasure from Dulwich College.
The traveller Mercury is in love. Unfortunately, the
subject of his devotion is the beautiful Maria, the wife
of his companion Antonio. When all seems lost, the
witless Antonio unexpectedly vows to gift his wife
to his friend as proof of his everlasting friendship,
leaving Maria determined to revenge her husband’s
foolishness. Meanwhile, Ricardo’s elopement with the virtuous Viola is frustrated by the young man’s
passion for drink and merrymaking.
Time: 4.00pm
Venue: Sam Wanamaker Playhouse,
Shakespeare’s Globe
Tickets: £15 (£12 FoSG/Student)
The white devil
#ReadNotDead
by John Webster
Sunday 4 December
Love’s Pilgrimage, The Chances and The Coxcomb are produced in association with the Instituto Cervantes.
Originally performed at The Red Bull, John Webster’s
tragedy of murder and sexual intrigue explores the
turbulent relationship of Italian noblewoman Vittoria
Corombona and the Duke of Bracciano, whose desire
to be together is hindered only by the fact that both
are already married to other people. Their passionate
affair sets in motion a series of bloody events that
showcases the macabre extent of Webster’s tragic
vision, and the clarity of his insight into the corrupting
effects of power, greed and ambition.
Webster’s play has been chosen to complement the
Cultures of Mortality conference which runs from 1 – 3 December.
*Venue and prices for The White Devil and The Coxcomb

EVENT
Thursday 2 June
Over 200 plays written between 1567 and 1642 have
been staged in the Read Not Dead series since the
reading of Amends for Ladies launched the project in 1995. One of those plays will be revived as the final
staged reading in Globe Education’s third season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. You have a chance
to decide which one.
Rounding off our series of Henslowe and Rose inspired
events, four directors will team up with four scholars
and present their arguments for reviving one of four
plays first performed in the Rose.
Actors will stage a selection of chosen scenes and vie
for your vote. The winning play will then be performed
as our final Read Not Dead of the season in the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse.
Previous events have delivered fun, surprises and
enlightening discoveries; come and cast your vote
at the hustings before joining us for the performance
of the chosen play on Sunday 2 October in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

PRONUNCIATION
READING
The Scornful Lady
Dr faustus
by Francis Beaumont & John Fletcher
Sunday 23 October
by Christopher Marlowe Performed in original pronunciation Sunday 22 May
Shakespeare’s patron, the Earl of Southampton,
was a member of Gray’s Inn and the first recorded
performance of The Comedy of Errors took place in Gray’s Inn Hall.
Read Not Dead on the Road returns to the beautiful
and intimate setting of the Hall for the third time for a performance with scripts of Beaumont and Fletcher’s
The Scornful Lady.
2016 is not only the 400th anniversary of Beaumont’s
death but also the 400th anniversary of the first
publication of the play. The comedy was extraordinarily
popular with numerous revivals until the middle of the 18th century.
Members of Gray’s Inn will join Globe actors to present
the comedy in the Hall, in a staged reading directed by James Wallace.
As part of the celebrations marking 1616, Passion in
Practice returns to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
to present a staged reading in original pronunciation of Marlowe’s Dr Faustus.
First performed at Henslowe’s Rose, this staged
reading will follow the text of the play published in
1616 which has some additional scenes by Rowley
and others.
This will be the Company’s first experiment with
Marlowe in OP and will take place in the candlelit glow
of the Playhouse.
The staged reading will be followed by a Q&A with
Professor David Crystal, Ben Crystal and members of Passion and Practice’s creative team.

Remembering and Forgetting
Shakespeare (and Cervantes and

(and 1916) Did For Us
Professor Gordon McMullan
(King’s College London)
Thursday 9 June
The Shakespeare 400 London–wide celebrations
marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death
are the brainchild of Professor Gordon McMullan.
Picture credit: ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
His talk will mark the Shakespeare Quatercentenary,
addressing what it means to ‘remember’ Shakespeare
in 2016 and reflecting on the ‘forgetting’ that is
also required. The forgetting not only of aspects of
Shakespeare’s life, work and legacy, but also of certain
of his contemporaries, notably those who died in the
same year (Cervantes, Beaumont) or whose significant
publication (the Jonson folio) has been overshadowed
in subsequent centuries by Shakespeare’s cultural dominance.
Miguel de Cervantes,
novelist and playwright,
died on 22 April 1616.

‘Know ye, I? Yea, that I do’:
The very theatrical death of theatre
entrepreneur Philip Henslowe in 1616
Professor Grace Ioppolo (University of Reading)
Thursday 19 May
Theatre entrepreneur Philip Henslowe is now largely
remembered for his ‘Diary’ that records his financial
dealings in building the Rose and Fortune playhouses,
as well as his commissioning of over 325 plays from
notable playwrights and his dealings with famous
actors, including his son-in-law Edward Alleyn, and
other theatrical personnel. But as his enormous archive
at Dulwich College reveals, he was also a London
property developer and wheeler-dealer who wielded
influence not just in local politics but at court. Drawing
on a number of original records, this lecture will look
at the controversial events of Henslowe’s deathbed
on 6 January 1616 that demonstrate the wide-ranging
cultural power and financial success of theatre in
Shakespeare’s England.

Ben Jonson’s Folio at 400
Professor Martin Butler (University of Leeds)
Thursday 14 July
The Works of Benjamin Jonson (1616) was an
important precursor for the Shakespeare first folio
(1623), being the first collected folio edition of plays
and poems published by any playwright working on
the English professional stage. This lecture will tell
the story of the volume’s publication, and examine
the image of the writer that it projects. It will explore
the tension between the literary and the theatrical
in Jonson’s texts, and ask how Jonson’s idea of the
author compares with the figure that comes down from the Shakespeare folio.
The saint-omer Shakespeare first
folio goes viral
Professor Eric Rasmussen (University of Nevada)
Thursday 11 August
In November 2014, within hours of the Saint-Omer
copy of the Shakespeare First Folio having been
authenticated by Professor Eric Rasmussen, news
of its discovery ‘went viral’, receiving an astonishing
12.5 billion online page views worldwide, and
occasioning widespread claims that the volume
proved that Shakespeare was a secret catholic.
Professor Rasmussen will provide a fascinating
insiders’ account of these extraordinary events.

John Wolfson, Honorary Curator Rare Books
(Shakespeare’s Globe) Thursday 18 August
Macbeth is unusually short for a Shakespeare tragedy,
suggesting that some scenes have been lost. The
play also contains scenes known to have been added
by another hand. The missing scenes and the added
scenes are the subject of John Wolfson’s talk this year.
Mr Wolfson will be assisted in his talk by Globe actors.

The play imagines a momentous meeting between the
Emperor Tiberius Caesar and Jesus Christ. Tiberius
meets the famous healer unaware that he had been
crucified only days before.

Thursday 10 November
In association with Instituto Cervantes Londres
Miguel de Cervantes was buried on 23 April 1616
by which time his writings had captured the English
literary imagination.
The first part of Don Quixote was published in Spain in 1605, translated into English within a few years by Thomas Shelton and published in 1612. In 1613 a now lost play, Cardenio, by Shakespeare and
Fletcher, was performed inspired by an episode from the novel.
The Novelas Ejemplares was published in 1613. Its
stories were soon adapted for the stage by Fletcher,
Middleton, Shirley and others.
Some Cervantes’ inspired plays will be staged this year
as part of Globe Education’s Read Not Dead series.
This lecture, illustrated by Globe actors, will celebrate
the influence Cervantes’ works had on 17th century
English theatre.

Shakespeare Lecture
‘THE SHAKESPEAREAN UNSCENE’
Professor Lorna Hutson
(University of St Andrews)
Thursday 12 May
Today, metaphors of enactment dominate discussion
of Shakespeare. We talk about ‘staging’ and
‘performing’ abstractions: ‘staging history’, for
example, or ‘performing nostalgia’. Critics have
thus even made a conundrum of the fact that Hamlet
‘stages’ the process of ‘thought’. I will show,
conversely, that in the sixteenth century, the real
innovation in English theatre was less performative
than rhetorical. Influenced by neoclassicism, English
dramatists began to use techniques of rhetorical
inquiry to supplement theatre’s mis-en-scène. I will
show how irresistibly Shakespeare draws us into
imagining offstage ‘scenes’ as part of a drama of the
psyche: this is the seductive Shakespearean ‘unscene’.

Pronunciation
The Shakespeare’s Globe Book Award is given
biennially to a scholar whose first monograph has
made an outstanding contribution to our understanding
and appreciation of the theatre of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
The Award supports Globe Education’s mission
to promote the work of new scholars.
Books published in 2014 or 2015 were considered for the 2016 Award.
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 OP. It was the first time the accent had
been heard on a London Stage for 400 years. Ben
Crystal, curator of the British Library’s CD of Original
Pronunciation, is the foremost developer of OP practice
since the Globe’s first experiments a decade ago.
The winner is invited to give a public lecture in the
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and receives a cheque
for £3,000.

This year’s Globe Education productions promise to be a feast for
the senses as we journey from East to West. There is the pathos of the
Kabuki-inspired Visions of Ophelia and an infectiously funny Puppet
Hamlet; a Twelfth Night staged in the Globe for younger audiences and families and a Richard III staged in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
by Southwark school students; a celebratory A Midsummer Night’s
Dream presented by the Rutgers Conservatory and a celebration of
Shakespeare, Jonson, Beaumont and others in the annual Sam Wanamaker Festival.

AT SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
Directed by Rebecca Gatward
Friday 19 February
A night in the enchanted forest turns the world upside
down for an unsuspecting group of mortals embroiled
in the fairy kingdom’s battles. Replete with magic,
music, humour and lyricism, A Midsummer Night’s
Dream is a play that speaks to ‘the lunatic, the lover
and the poet’ in us all.
Rutgers Conservatory at Shakespeare’s Globe is Globe
Education’s flagship conservatory training programme.
BFA and MFA Acting majors from Mason Gross School
of the Arts at Rutgers, the State University of New
Jersey, embark upon intensive classical training at
the Globe for most of their junior year. This workshop
performance is the culmination and celebration
of the residency.
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Globe Theatre
Tickets: Free tickets are available for this workshop
performance. To request tickets, and for more
information, please email: higher.education@shakespearesglobe.com

HAMLET &
JAPAN
AN EVENING OF TALKS AND PERFORMANCES
Thursday 7 July
Shakespeare took hold of the Japanese imagination in the 1880s and has never let go. There were over 180 Shakespeare-inspired productions in Tokyo in 2014 alone!
Shakespeare’s Globe celebrates Japan’s fascination
with Hamlet in an evening of talks and performances.
The first serious Japanese translation of ‘To be or not
to be’ will be performed alongside a comic version –
in English and in Japanese – written in 1874.
The evening will culminate in the Kabuki-inspired Visions of Ophelia performed by the renowned
Japanese actress Aki Isoda who has toured her one-woman show around the world.
Speakers will include Sir David Warren (former British
Ambassador to Japan).
It is presented in association with The Japan Society.

Brudermord: THE PUPPET HAMLET
Saturday 9 July
Sunday 10 July
Presented by The Hidden Room Theatre, Austin, Texas.
In 1710, a mysterious, hilariously slapstick German Hamlet was found in the archives of a German monastery.
The Hidden Room Theatre has worked with Oxford
University’s Tiffany Stern to re-create this historic
eccentric event as it may have originally been
performed: a puppet show.
The marionette show, suitable for scholars and children
alike, employs on-stage narrators who perform all the
voices, the music and all sound effects for the show.
The 18th century German version includes additional
comic characters and scenes but the show will be
performed in English.
Saturday 9 July: 7.00pm
Sunday 10 July: 4.00pm
Running Time: 80 minutes
Tickets: £17.50 (£12.50 FoSG/Student)

Family Performances: Saturday 12 & Saturday 19 March
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, the architecture for which Shakespeare wrote.
One of Shakespeare’s most vibrant comedies, Twelfth Night follows the adventures of twins, Viola and Sebastian. Shipwrecked in the strange land of
Illyria, they attempt to find each other again. Viola
disguises herself as a young man and enters the
service of Duke Orsino. When the Duke sends her
to profess his love to Olivia all manner of confusion
and chaos ensues, added to by a group of Olivia’s
miscreant relatives and servants.
Packed with laughs, love and music the play explores
themes that children will recognise from their own
lives and will leave children and adults alike buzzing
with the thrill of live theatre.
Thanks to the support of Deutsche Bank tickets
are available for these family performances at a subsidised rate.

Shakespeare Congress:
Creating and Re-Creating Shakespeare
The 2016 World Shakespeare Congress – 400
years after the playwright’s death – will celebrate
Shakespeare’s memory and the global cultural legacy
of his works. Uniquely, ambitiously, fittingly, this
quatercentenary World Congress will be based in not
just one but two locations: in Shakespeare’s birthplace,
and final resting-place, Stratford-upon-Avon; and in
the city where he made his name and where his genius
flourished – London.
The 2016 hosts – in Stratford, the Royal Shakespeare
Company, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and the
University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute;
in London, Shakespeare’s Globe and the London
Shakespeare Centre, King’s College London – look
forward to welcoming delegates from around the
world to share in a range of cultural and intellectual
opportunities in the places where Shakespeare was
born, acted, wrote and died.

SYMPOSIA
cultures of mortality: death on the Shakespearean stage
Intercultural Performance: HAMLET
1 – 3 December
Recent decades have seen a steep rise in the
number and variety of performances, adaptations,
appropriations and translations of Shakespeare’s
plays around the world. Globalisation has created a
new critical awareness of the diversified contexts of
performance and reception of Shakespeare at multiple
centres around the world.
2016 sees the 400th anniversary of the deaths
of Shakespeare, Francis Beaumont, the theatrical
entrepreneur Philip Henslowe and the Spanish
dramatist Miguel de Cervantes. Globe Education is
marking this memorable year with an international
conference that explores death, rituals of dying and the experience of loss on the early modern stage.
Men and women in early Jacobean England
understood that death could have significant social,
cultural and artistic implications, not least because the country had recently been plunged into unexpected
mourning by the death of the Stuart heir to the throne,
Prince Henry.
How did dramatists respond to these powerful social
and emotional forces in their engagement with
morbidity, mortality and bereavement?
The conference is intended for scholars and students
but is open to all members of the public.
Venue: Nancy Knowles Lecture Theatre,
Shakespeare’s Globe
Tickets: £75 (£65 FoSG/£45 Student)
#CulturesofMortality
Friday 22 April
This symposium will celebrate the enormous
range and diversity of Shakespearean intercultural
performance and explore some of its critical
implications. How do particular performances map
local or global socio-cultural and political contexts?
What do these performances say about local politics
and histories? If Shakespeare has become a global
icon or brand, what are some of the implications for
local cultures? What kinds of relationships and what
kinds of contexts develop between touring companies
and international audiences? These are just some of
the questions, approaches, and perspectives explored
in the symposium.
Shakespeare’s Globe is a stimulating venue for a
symposium on intercultural production and exchange.
The symposium will feature keynote addresses and
panel discussions from renowned Shakespeare
scholars from around the world. It coincides with the return to London of the tour of Hamlet.
Time: 9.30am – 6.00pm
Venue: Nancy Knowles Lecture Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe
Tickets: £55 (£45 FoSG/£25 Student)

Exhibitions HENSLOWE’S ROSE
Saturday 21 May
The Rose Playhouse is doubly unique, thanks to two
very different examples of archaeological evidence.
A few other early modern theatre sites survive in
fragmentary form but The Rose is the only one likely
to reveal its entire shape, once further archaeological
excavation is undertaken.
In addition, unlike any other playhouse of
Shakespeare’s time, The Rose can boast records on
paper that provide insights into the working life of a
theatre, its actors and its repertory in the 1580s and
1590s. This is thanks to Philip Henslowe’s surviving
accounts and papers, including Henslowe’s ‘Diary’ as
well as his original 1587 deed of partnership to build
The Rose.
Leading international theatre scholars and
archaeologists gather together to mark the 400th
anniversary of Henslowe’s death, and share the latest
discoveries regarding the theatre which staged plays
by Marlowe, Kyd and Shakespeare.
Speakers will include: Julian Bowsher; Andrew Gurr,
Mark Hutchings, Grace Ioppolo, Farah Karim-Cooper,
Sally-Beth MacLean, Alan H. Nelson, Will Tosh, Brian
Vickers and Martin White.
Time: 10.00am – 5.30pm
Venue: Nancy Knowles Lecture Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe
fortunes & Folios: Two Exhibitions at Shakespeare’s Globe Henslowe’s Rose: Theatrical Treasure from Dulwich College
11 May – 29 June
The great actor Edward Alleyn used part of his
theatrical fortune to build a school in 1619, known
today as Dulwich College. His gift also included
personal effects, manuscripts and the diary owned by
his father-in-law, Philip Henslowe. The diary provides
unique insights into the running of the Rose Playhouse.
Some of the Henslowe/Alleyn treasures are displayed
by kind permission of the Master.
Shakespeare Re-discovered In St-Omer
4 July – 4 September
In September 2014 the Librarian in St-Omer stumbled
across a book on the shelves which turned out to be
a hitherto unknown copy of the 1623 Shakespeare
First Folio. Before the discovery only 232 copies were
known to have survived. The world can now boast a 233rd.
The St-Omer Folio will be the centrepiece of a special
exhibition which will place the 1623 volume in context
of other important books and folios of the time.
See shakespearesglobe.com/exhibition for details.
