Dominic Dromgoole on Massive Plans for the Globe

Synopsis

Dominic Dromgoole, the artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, talks to Dominic Cavendish about his plans for a multi-lingual festival of the complete works to co-incide with the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games. Dromgoole defends the Globe against criticisms that the theatre is ‘filled only with tourists’ and speaks on the history of the internationalism of Shakespeare. He also describes a major new project to build an indoor (winter space)Jacobean theatre alongside the Globe, and outlines the vision behind the 2011 season ‘The Word is God’.
