In Jan/Feb, it'd be too dark for journalists to read their presspacks now that the Board has switched all the lights off.

Was it? It always used to be jan/feb for the summer season. Do we really think she will have a season ready to announce in a matter of weeks?

The advantage of never clearing out my email is that I can confirm that up to 2011 the season would get announced in the first week of January, since then its varied between December, November and late October.

Emma Rice in final Front Row interview last night on Globe.....admits mistakes and not being too upfront with Board about the imposition of mics,sound,lights,etc.One can only wish her well in what was clearly not a good match.
Michelle Terry highlights the audience as core to her mission and suggests a very vibrant season with local,national,international focus.Please Michelle-reinstate the small scale tour. Really enjoy hearing her thoughts and feel Globe will be a fantastic place.
Sometimes a balance in planning is called for where Original Practices can be in shared repertoire with explosive work style.
Roll on 4th Jan.

I have been told that the summer tours are back on. At least Oxford is expecting to play host once again next year. Whispers that it might be a Dream. But that is very unconfirmed

Seems easier to capture the announcement in a single thread at this stage. More news - - Same ensemble will perform Hamlet and As You Like It, this cast includes Michelle Terry - "A tour of eight actors will perform The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night, directed by Brendan O’Hea. Audiences will be able to choose which one will be performed " - "New writing on the #Globe2018 stage will be Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s Emilia, based on the life of ‘the dark lady of the sonnets’ Emilia Bassano, and Matt Hartley’s Eyam, about a Derbyshire village beset by the plague in 1665" - Loves Labours Lost in the Sam Wanamaker Full details of the season - www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/michelle-terry-announces-inaugural-shakespeares-globe-seasonProductions are now on the Globe website - booking dates: Members Advance priority booking for Best Friends & Patrons opens Monday 8 January, 10.00am.

Wow, the audience picking the play - wonder how that will go down with audiences?! Surely Twelfth Night is going to win most nights? And will anyone manage to see all 3 productions?
Excited by Rylance returning to the Globe for Iago. Even the new stuff sounds intriguing!

On the Globe site they have a listing for all three touring productions, and a separate one for "Voter's Choice" so presumably there are fixed performances of each as well as the audience selection? Agree it looks like an exciting season.

Looks like an enticing season! I might even be tempted back there after a few years absence (which I'm at pains to point out was nothing to do with Rice's tenure but a lack of my time in London aligning with any 'must sees' for me at The Globe)
Also I love the new logo, and the website seems much more user-friendly after it's revamp too. Huzzah. (Saw lots of bitching about the 'cost' of the re-brand on FB, well if it includes a more user-friendly website surely that's an investment...anyhoo people people)

Ohhh exciting, think i'll be booking and telling myself it's cheap and ignoring all the train fare. The actual performance dates aren't out yet are they, or have I missed them on the new site?

The Voter's Choice thing sounds pretty annoying to be honest. I can see an argument for it being a proper test for the cast and adding a real frisson of excitement not knowing what play you're about to see, but the Globe's been working hard for twenty years to be considered a "real theatre", not just some tourist nonsense where you tick "see a Shakespeare at the Globe" off your bucket list. The idea that you could see any of three plays sort of goes along with the idea that it doesn't really matter what play you see, and I worry that this devalues the enterprise as a whole. Okay, maybe you're time-poor and incredibly indecisive so this is a great way to book a performance without the pressure of having to immediately choose which play to book, but it's more likely that the auditorium will be filled with the kind of people who are constantly at the Globe anyway (and the less said about some of the regulars, the better) and the kind of people who don't really care about the theatre, they're just working through their London tourist to-do list. I for one am going to be hoping for fixed performance dates alongside the Voter's Choice dates so I know I'm seeing what I want to see (each play once with no risk whatsoever that I'll be seeing Merchant Of Venice three times in a row).

I agree Baemax as much as I'm sure they're all good, those of us travelling a bit of a distance would usually like to know what we're getting with some certainty. And IMO it also rings a bit gimmicky and touristy.
