Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre

[Members 350 baht, non-members 450 baht, students 150 baht. Bar and restaurant open.]

A fascinating lecture demonstration on Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre will trace Shakespeare's progress as a dramatist and the importance of the Globe Theatre in his development as a writer.

Shakespeare wrote 30 to 32 plays after 1598, the year the Globe Theatre was built, and unlike present day dramatists, Shakespeare knew the performance space as he was directly involved in the management and maintenance of the Globe Theatre.

The Globe Theatre provided Shakespeare with a extraordinary performance venue and a wonderful opportunity to progress as a writer. The lecture also focuses on play production, acting and challenges faced by producer and performer.

A Q&A with audience follows the lecture.

Daniel Foley trained for the stage at The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama where he won The Percival Steeds Prize and Royal Lyceum Awards. In 1992, he studied Wayang Kulit in East Java with the great Pak Suleman. In Japan, he has trained with Yoh Izumo.
