News: Shakespeare’s Globe Announces Summer Season 2024

Shakespeare’s Globe has announced its upcoming summer season for 2024. With many Shakespeare productions, a new play and a wealth of talented creatives, it is set to be a very exciting season.

Much Ado About Nothing kicks off the season on 25^th April – 24^th August, with Ekow Quartey and Amalia Vitale as Benedick and Beatrice. Directed by Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes.

From 9^th May, Richard III will run, with Artistic Director Michelle Terry to play the eponymous anti-hero under the direction of Elle While.

Continuing the season, The Taming of the Shrew will run from the 6^th June – transforming the Globe into a carnival, a bilingual production of Anthony and Cleopatra from the 4^th August and The Comedy Of Errors from the 21^st August.

A new play will be featured this year, Princess Essex, written by and starring Anne Odeke and directed by Robin Belfield. Bringing the summer season to a close, this empowering comedy is based on the true story of Princess Dinubolu, the first woman of colour to enter a beauty pageant in the UK.

Rough Magic runs from 20^th July – 24^th August and is set to be a supernaturally silly adventure for the family.
