Hey there —
No it’s not ours, but one that I enjoyed ALMOST as much — Emma Rice’s inaugural production
as Artistic Director at the Globe. Just received an email that it’s being livestreamed on
Sunday night (final performance, apparently). Check it out and let me know what you
think. I was fortunate enough to see it this summer while in London for a teaching
conference. I think Jenny saw it as well and loved it. I was knocked out by the
ferocious energy of the ensemble — their joy in playing was evident in almost every moment
— and the fresh inventive take on many of the characters and moments. I felt some of the
audience interaction stuff was a bit schticky (every Globe production strained a bit too
much in this area, seemed to me) but by the end I was won over and carried back to Henkel
Hall in my heart.... Not sure how it’ll play on a small screen but standing next to the
stage on the side I was swept up and clapping along by the end.
Here’s the link for how to watch it, not sure how it works yet but hope to be tuning
in...
