Shakepseare Globe Youth Festival 2009
20 Jun 2008 |
Things are moving forward for an exciting relaunch of the Shakespeare Globe Youth Festival in 2009.
As schools will be aware, 2008 activities had to be terminated due to Sydney University’s change in Centres’ policy i.e. closing down the majority of them.
Festival specifics will be available in the next Curriculum support and posted on the website as available.
We are also announcing our Company of Players production for the first half of 2009. This will be William Luce’s Tony Award winning play The Belle of Amherst based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
Dickinson returns to the HSC English Curriculum in: Area of Study Belonging and ESL Area of Study Belonging. It will recreate the original Sydney production, which opened to critical acclaim directed by Victoria Nicolls and starring Diana Denley.
In the meantime, ideas and suggestions for the future are welcomed and can be sent to globeshakespeare@gmail.com

Two Gentlemen of Verona, to say nothing of the dog…
20 Sep 2005 |
| Setting this play - with its somewhat problematic gender politics - in the 1950s, has always made good sense to modern audiences. In SGCA’s production with this year’s National Youth Shakespeare Company, the prosperous suit-clad men – both the fathers and the suitors – presented a smug conservative male-supremacist ideology, against which the play’s young women, Silvia and Julia, were powerless – even though Julia took things into her own hands by disguising herself as a Jules-et-Jim style boy. |

Hamlet in Bondi: by Ewa Jaremkiewicz
5 April 2005 |
| The coolest thing about theatre is that big budgets are irrelevant when a cast has the essential ingredient: heart. For the most part, this production by Globe Shakespeare in a wind-storm-battered Bondi Pavilion pulls off Hamlet magic worthy of a much larger and more expensive venue. |

SGCA's
Hamlet at Bondi Pavillion: by Lee Young
19 Mar 2005 |
Currently Sydney theatre audiences are experiencing
a plethora of Shakespeare performances.
It is almost a birthday celebration, as Shakespeare
was born in April 1564, over 400 years ago, and still
the world's most famous playwright. In 1599 Shakespeare
and six associates became owners of the Globe Theatre
in London and now in 2005 we still uphold the name,
namely the The Shakespeare Globe Centre's Company
here in Sydney. |

Romeo + Juliet: Hot Days Mad Blood
15 Nov 2006 |
Romeo & Juliet has remained one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays – ever since its first performance in 1595 or 1596: we have no exact date.
The shifting moods of adolescence have never been better dramatized. |
