Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre

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

A fascinating evening about Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre tracing the great bard's progress as a dramatist and the importance of the London riverside theatre in his development as a writer.

Shakespeare wrote 30 to 32 plays after 1598, the year the Globe was built. Unlike many present day dramatists, he knew the performance space intimately as he was directly involved in the theatre's management and maintenance.

The Globe was a unique venue that helped Shakespeare develop as a playwright. The evening will also focus on play production, acting and challenges faced by producers and performers. A Q&A with audience follows the presentation.

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 (Javanese puppetry) East Java with the great Pak Suleman. He trained with Yoh Izumo in Japan.
