Designing Shakespeare Collection - Shakespeare's Globe
Filename DS_SJ_au20.mov
Description Question: What is your impression of the globe theatre as a performance space? Answer: Well, I don't like it. I mean I think it's a marvellous place to visit for academic reasons. It's been beautifully done but I find it, I find it would be a bit of a strait jacket for doing a production because it instantly imposes that particular way of working and certainly the last time I saw it the stage was brightly coloured, you know, faithfully copying the way it might have been. And it was too intrusive on on the work. So I would feel in a strait jacket there. I feel its still being too faithful to history and gradually it will evolve I think and become the way Shakespeare might have used it today. And a much more flexible space, yes.
