Reviews

"... it is difficult to imagine that Twelfth Night could be performed more effectively than it currently is at the Globe theatre ..." (The Guardian)

"Shakespeare’s Globe has got in with the first of two Much Ado productions and raises the bar high with an exuberant production." (The Daily Telegraph)

"Dromgoole is blessed with a smashing pair of young lovers. Adetomiwa Edun's Romeo is fresh, cheeky, light on his feet and full of the ebullience of young love... The production's secret weapon is Ellie Kendrick...delivers the jewelled verse with a lovely purity and directness." (The Daily Telegraph)

"Eve Best's directorial debut is a cracking – at times, terrifying – production of Macbeth." (The Daily Telegraph)

"Henry IV is the Shakespeare play that's perfectly suited to the Globe." (The Guardian)
