Publications

Many activities at Shakespeare's Globe are supported by a thriving publishing department. The department publishes Around the Globe magazine three times a year which is sent to all Friends and Patrons of the Globe and is available in the Globe shop, and also provides all the programmes during the annual theatre season.

The publishing department also works closely with the education and research departments on Globe initiated books and academic documents. The most recent is Shakespeare's Globe: A Theatrical Experiment published by Cambridge University Press in October 2008.

Globe Folios

Globe Education at Shakespeare’s Globe has published Globe Folios to coincide with the plays chosen for the current and previous Theatre seasons. They are photographic facsimiles of plays taken from the First Folio of 1623 and have been produced in association with the British Library.
The First Folio was perhaps the second most important and influential book published in English in the 17th century after the King James Bible (1611). It was a publishing coup. It was the first time an English playwright’s collected plays were gathered together and published in one volume on Folio sized pages.
The plays that have been published are King Lear, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Timon of Athens along with Romeo & Juliet.

Shakespeare's Globe: A Theatrical Experiment

/ Theatrical Experiment

Over 400 years after it was closed down, Shakespeare’s Globe re-opened in its original setting of London’s Bankside. The initial vision to reconstruct the Globe has encountered its fair share of setbacks, controversy and scepticism, but ten years on, the Globe is a major London landmark drawing over 750,000 visitors every year.

In this new book from Cambridge University Press, actors, educationalists, designers and scholars look back on the project, giving readers a 360 degree view of this unique theatrical experiment. As the first-ever study of the role of Globe Education the book also shows that Shakespeare’s Globe is not only of interest to theatre-lovers, but has become an invaluable resource for teachers bringing Renaissance drama to a contemporary audience.
