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’.

General: Theatrevoice is a website for audio content about British theatre, and features journalists from across the UK as well as press and practitioners from across the theatre industry. It was set up in 2003 to see if theatre could be talked about in a new way: allowing critics to be more expansive than the usual space constraints of the print media allowed. In 2008, V&A Theatre Collections and Rose Bruford College, London agreed to support the site in partnership. (http://www.theatrevoice.com/about_us/, accessed 7/2010)
