First night at the Globe
Article Abstract:
The works of William Shakespeare have become well known and exhaustively studied. There have been some 20 reconstructions of theaters of his time in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the latest is located close to his original Globe Theater, in London, England. It is difficult for modern spectators to imagine what it was like for audiences of his time, and dates and other aspects of his plays had a symbolism then that they no longer possess. The first record of a viewing of a performance of his work at the Globe is from 1599.

The word made flesh
Article Abstract:
Shared Experience is a British theater company that has collaborated with Helen Edmundson, an author, and developed adaptations of a number of works of fiction for the theater. Edmundson uses a free interpretation in order to create works with theatrical drive and structure. The company's success marks a new trend for theater toward celebrating distinctiveness, though there are still works by some companies that use more traditional methods and have not taken this new approach.
