Rylance to Play Prospero in Final Globe Season Mark Rylance will play Prospero in his final season at Shakespeare's Globe, in a new production of The Tempest directed by Tim Carroll. The company for the production will consist of three actors, who will play all the parts between them, three dancers and six musicians. Rylance will also appear in a new version of Plautus' The Storm, also directed by Carroll, adapted by Peter Oswald who created the Globe's version of Apuleius' The Golden Ass in 2002. Like The Tempest and the two other productions in what the Globe is calling The Season of the World and Underworld, the Plautus deals with a daughter who is lost and found between the world and the underworld. The other two plays in the season, which runs from May to September, are Pericles, the first time the Globe has tackled the play, and The Winter's Tale. The latter, an "original practices" production, will be directed by John Dove and will have a mixed company, whereas Pericles, directed by Kathryn Hunter, will be a modern staging. There will also be two "minimal" productions in The Persephone Project: named after the Greek goddess who spent six months on earth and six month in Hades, this project features the Pericles company working with Jack Shepherd working with Shepherd and Marcello Magni exploring the use of masks as they perform The Fall of Man, written by Shepherd and Oliver Cotton. Meanwhile the Winter's Tale company will work with Giles Block as they perform Troilus and Cressida as an “exploration of eloquence”. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
