Hamlet: Globe to Globe: Taking Shakespeare to Every Country in the World

NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2017Over two full years, Dromgoole, the Artistic Director of the Shakespeare`s Globe Theatre, and the Globe players toured all seven continents, and almost 200 countries, performing the Bard`s most famous play. They set their stage in sprawling refugee camps, grand Baltic palaces and heaving marketplaces – despite food poisoning in Mexico, an Ebola epidemic in West Africa and political upheaval in Ukraine. Hamlet: Globe to Globe tells the story of this unprecedented theatrical adventure, in which Dromgoole shows us the world through the prism of Shakespeare`s universal drama, and asks how a 400-year-old tragedy can bring the world closer together.
