‘I just knew it would sound incredible!’: why the Globe is giving Shakespeare some flamenco fire
By Lyndsey Winship

Love’s Labour’s Lost offers a heady mix of passion and death – which makes the Spanish art form a perfect match, says director Indiana Lown-Collins. Our writer joins the theatre’s flamenco bootcamp

Calling all #climate conscious #playwrights!

The Climate Playwriting Prize 2026 | Discover | Shakespeare's Globe

We believe that playwrights have a vital role to play in the conversation around the climate. Theatre is a space for animating audiences, forming communities, and experimenting with form; a space for processing the past, articulating the present, and imagining the future. Beyond the West End, regional and touring theatre is playing a vital role in engaging audiences.

This moment is marked by rising temperatures, escalating impacts of change on communities and ecosystems, but also by the unprecedented call to arms to storytellers at COP30 in 2025. The need for new stories that help audiences grapple with the realities and possibilities of this crisis has never been clearer. 

In order to surface the breadth and diversity of new stories about this planetary moment, the Climate Playwriting Prize is an open invitation to playwrights to respond creatively to this subject matter. We are partnering with organisations all around the country to deliver workshops to writers, unlocking how they might want to tell their climate story.

I really wanted to visit Shakespeare's Globe. But unfortunately my travel companions were more interested in The Tower Bridge. Oh well... maybe next time when I'm visiting London.

@gutenberg_org the only Ibsen I've seen is Ghosts (at #ShakespearesGlobe a few months ago), and I wouldn't say that euthanasia and incest are topics from everyday life! #theatre

@mholiv they use beeswax candles in the indoor theatre at #ShakespearesGlobe, and I remember a while back they had a whole podcast episode about them. If you can find that they might share some useful info there.

I think that #ShakespearesGlobe #theatre cheated with the pretty animated light show. These aren't authentic #Shakesperean candles.

#TheatreReview: #Ghosts by #Ibsen at #ShakespearesGlobe 1h40 flew by! Very nicely paced and performed, not entirely convinced by the stage being covered in fur, and it must be a bugger to clean after every performance. Could have done with a #SatyrPlay after all of Ibsen's misery to lift the spirits.

Birthday celebration season starts today, with some ghost stories by candlelight at #ShakespearesGlobe

Well, I had an absolutely wonderful day in London yesterday, taking in a Shakespearean double-bill.

I started off with my first visit to the main theatre at Shakespeare's Globe (having previously only been to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) for an excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream. Positioned right at the front of the yard, it was a real privilege to see this company, and the nuance of their performances, right up close.

[ID: a tweet from Shakespeare’s Globe reading “Which of Shakespeare's characters are you inviting over for Christmas dinner?*
“*Choose wisely. Some could bring merriment. Others all the drama. And one could quite possibly end up serving a pie filling you were not expecting.”]
