Greatly enjoyed an all-woman cast starting a play by happily singing a song about how the bloodshed and horrors they are about to unleash will make people leave the theatre feeling better about their own lives.
*hums* “Men, killing men, killing men, killing men, killing women, killing men, killing men, killing children… “
#it was a very merry tune#also:#the poor candles#titus andronicus#sam wanamaker playhouse#back back back back back#it’s a bat’s life#excuse the bad picture#it’s candle light only on stage#and sometimes not even that

https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2023/08/23/farah-karim-cooper-great-white-bard/
...the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, as it’s officially known, is sometimes too dark, especially for the actors of color who are increasingly cast in major roles onstage.
“It really places them at a disadvantage because they can’t be seen,” said Farah Karim-Cooper, seated in the playhouse’s pit...
A decade ago, she advised the indoor theater’s design based on Jacobean architectural tradition. But during the Globe’s first Shakespeare and Race Festival, which she organized in 2018, she hosted a workshop in the theater with actors of color and learned how they were disadvantaged by some of the set and lighting design decisions....
-----
...She anchors her claims to current events, bolstering arguments about Shakespeare being hijacked by White nationalists with a reference to a little-known letter sent by American far-right extremists to Washington’s Folger Shakespeare Library ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, reassuring the library that the mob had “no intention of damaging, trespassing, or otherwise altering your facility in anyway” during the violent events.

Hello, responding to your question about my fave Faustus production - alas, I don’t think it was recorded, but I saw a production at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in 2018 that was my favourite of the ones I’ve seen so far. Faustus and Mephistopheles were both played by women (Jocelyn Jee Esien and Pauline McLynn respectively), and as with all shows in the Wanamaker playhouse was done by candlelight. It was really well done and really aligned with my vision of the play. Here are some production stills!
oh my god im frothing at the mouth that rules!!!! those costumes!!!!!! good lord i now desperately want to have seen this production
#mailbox#doctor faustus#like seriously these pictures fuck so hard and now im going to invent time travel to go see that production

Ghosts at Shakespeare’s Globe casting announced including Hattie Morahan & Greg Hicks
Shakespeare’s Globe has revealed casting for its forthcoming revival of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts.
The play will run at their Sam Wanamaker Playhouse from 10 November 2023 to 28 January 2024.
The cast will include Greg Hicks (Oklahoma!) as Engstrand, with Paul Hilton (The Glass Menagerie) as Father Manders, Hattie Morahan (A Doll’s House) as Helene Alving, Sarah Slimani (The Winter’s Tale) as Regine Engstrand, and Stuart Thompson (Spring Awakening) as Osvald Alving.
Ghosts is adapted and directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Tragedy of King Richard the Second – Almeida), and this production marks the first time at Ibsen has been performed at Shakespeare’s Globe.
The creative team also includes Associate Director Lucy Wray, Costume and Set Designer Rosanna Vize, Costume Supervisor Megan Rarity, Globe Associate (Movement) Glynn Macdonald, Head of Voice Tess Dignan, and Intimacy Director Haruka Kuroda.
Director Joe Hill-Gibbins said in a statement: “It’s a privilege to be staging Ibsen at Shakespeare’s Globe for the very first time, and also to be opening the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse’s 10th Anniversary Season. I’m excited to light the candles and see what emerges from Ibsen’s exploration of forbidden desire, and of the social, biological and emotional forces that entrap us.”
Hattie Morahan returns to Ibsen after her Evening Standard Theatre Award and Critics Circle Award-winning performance as Nora in A Doll’s House at the Young Vic, in the West End and in New York.
Greg Hicks was recently starring in the smash-hit West End revival of Oklahoma! at the Young Vic and Wyndham’s Theatre.
Currently playing at Shakespeare’s Globe is Macbeth until 28 October, and As You Like It until 29 October, followed by Hansel And Gretel from 8 December 2023 to 7 January 2024.
Following Ghosts in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse will be Othello fro 16 January to 13 April 2024, and The Duchess Of Malfi from 17 February to 14 April 2024.
Ghosts is playing from 10 November 2023 to 28 January 2024 at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

In his role as associate artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe, Holmes, 54, has carved out a reputation for colourful, magical reinventions of Shakespeare. Last year, his raucous contemporary Tempest was a laugh-a-minute riot of a beach party. There were nods to Love Island and White Lotus, and Ferdy Roberts as Prospero spent the show wearing tight yellow swimming trunks. In February, he turned The Winter’s Tale into a tale of two meals (“one high-end and exclusive, one very festival and inclusive”), taking over both the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse indoors and the outdoor Globe Theatre.
His contribution this summer is a boisterous production of The Comedy of Errors, part of the Globe’s 400th anniversary celebrations of the First Folio, a season that also includes Elle While’s take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream and productions of Macbeth and As You Like It. Holmes’ Comedy of Errors is conducted at a cracking pace, featuring dagger-wielding nuns and twins in very large codpieces, it’s endearingly silly but never glib. Arguably, the production is so funny precisely because Holmes takes the text seriously.
