23 April – 9 June
Hip-hop, Maori and signed Shakespeare plays
are all on the menu with this cultural celebration. The undeniable home to the
main man himself – The Globe Theatre on London’s Bankside - has pulled out all
the stops on this one. They’ve selected 37 different theatre companies to
present 37 different Shakespeare works in 37 different languages. Subtitles
aren’t included - just imagination and pizzazz, hopefully. Kick starting on
Shakespeare’s birthday, April 23, the show season will run for six weeks as
part of the World Shakespeare Festival and London’s 2012 Festival. Said to
celebrate the diverse populations around the capital, this is their opportunity
to promote unique takes on one of England’s greatest writers. Tickets start at
£5 with the £100 Yard Olympian providing access to them all. We’d at least try
and catch one.
