Shakespeare's Globe 2008 season

[Michael Palaeologus]

I got this email a few days ago:

2008 Theatre Season - 'Totus Mundus'

Priority booking now open

Public booking opens 11 February

Season opens 23 April

In 2008 we celebrate the glorious diversity of Shakespeare?s work. The season opens with his most searching tragedy King Lear, followed by the magical and popular comedy A Midsummer Night?s Dream, his thrilling and savage satire Timon of Athens, and his invention of a new form, the sit-com, in The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Our two new plays this season are tales of two cities. Ch? Walker?s The Frontline is an ultra-modern, wild and panoramic look at London on a Saturday night, whilst Glyn Maxwell's beautiful and engaging new play, Liberty, takes us to Paris during the French Revolution.

Anybody interested?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Yup.

Exeunts quickly, followed by a cuddly toy.

[Floating Onion]

I'm always up for a theatre trip!

[anntidote]

I'm interested and shamefacedly admit I've never seen a production there although have visited.

[Brendan]

I?m in! Mrs B will be interested too. Can we go to Timon of Athens or The Merry Wives of Windsor?

[Michael Palaeologus]

We can go to any that you like! The standing tickets are ?5. I find that standing is the best way of getting into the play as they often use the standing crowd as part of the scenery and you find the action going on around you.

Very uncomfortable night at the theatre unless you get the back row with the backrest and hire a cushion

[Michael Palaeologus]

OK - but not in my experience

[PeckhamRose]

Really?

Then go see the fascinating and imaginative and great fun version of Salome at Pentameters in Hampstead.

I have nothing to do with this production.

Also, there's a futuristic version of Measure for MEasure at Players Theatre Villiers Street next month if you want to google that and check it out.

I have nothing to do with that one either.
