The new season announcement, first under the new AD of course, must be imminent. Anyone heard anything?

blog.shakespearesglobe.com/... all of which I have to say is not that exciting, given how commonly performed all of the main 4 plays are. Like the sound of the verbatim Raleigh thing though.

Ooooh 'Eddie 2', I loves me some plays about the gays.
Michelle hasn't done much to influence the pricing in the playhouse by the looks of things. I may send her the bill from my osteopath just to make a point.

There is a serious lack of detail here.
To announce a season without a full raft of directors to go with it seems odd. With oft produced works like Macbeth and Faustus, I need a bit of a clue about the approach to be taken before committing.
If you are trying to sell on title alone, you are doing your audience a disservice

I think Michelle is having to pander a bit to all of the old folk who were so up in arms about the Emma Rice era so she's having to pull out some of the old favourites to get them back in.

It looks very interesting, hopefully we'll finally see a good Macbeth again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems an odd policy to do four revivals all of which could easily sell well on the main stage, not sure what the point of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is if this is how they are going to programme it.

Personally think this season is most exciting for years....of course,time and casting/creatives will tell but ,to me,seems to be exactly what Wanamaker is for .
Hated old white man signs off

Hated old white man signs off When the Wanamaker was launched they said it was to explore the repertoire of Jacobean plays staged in the first indoor theatres, to date that is what they’ve done - not a single one of the plays in the new season qualifies. |

3!
These are the Macbeth Productions I’ve seen or booked to see this year:
Rose Playhouse
National Theatre
RSC
Factory Theatre
Wilton’s Music Hall x2 (Includes the wonderful Dance Version)
Pop Up Globe York
Will now add the Wanamaker Production and I’m sure there’s at least one more being scheduled somewhere.

But still a rather exciting exploration. Similar with RSC Swan......minority Eliz and Jacobean plays plus experiments in language etc.Thats now all but abandoned with shows like Miss Littlewood coming in.i regret that but guess the planning has to be realistic although don't see Littlewood drawing a largely tourist crowd. Back to Wanamaker...great to see Marlowe with Shakespeare in tandem and idea of festival themed surround is enriching.CAsting the eye across London this winter there is so much of all genres that I don't want to see Globe duplicate which is what happened with ER when most of the shows could have sat well elsewhere. We shall see and,of course,my thoughts are my own initial response to the announcement. Believe that Michelle Terry does have an intelligent plan.

Very dull with the main plays, why do these ones yet again? Why not Middleton instead of Marlowe who was dead and gone before the Blackfriars (Middleton already present in a minor way in Macbeth)?
The way no directors have been announced is a concern, are they choosing plays and then shopping them around? If they have got directors lined up then it’s poor marketing to leave them out. After underwhelming changes at the Young Vic and the Globe, I live in hope that the new Donmar and Lyric Hammersmith regimes are a bit more adventurous.

Interesting point - the RSC have often announced plays without having cast any of the leading actors but but never with the director not known. Maybe the result of having an actor as AD ? |
