Globe 2011 Season Shakespeare's Globe has announced its 2011 season, entitled The Word is God, celebrating the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible which was completed in 1611. The theatre season will commence with a cover-to-cover reading of The Bible over the Easter weekend and a small-scale touring production of Hamlet which opens at the Globe on Shakespeare’s birthday, 23rd April, before it takes to the road for a UK and European tour. The first main-house production will be All’s Well That Ends Well, which has never before performed at the Globe, soon followed by Much Ado About Nothing. The season’s theme will be followed through with the first Globe production of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, tand, later in August, The Globe Mysteries will present a new perspective on The Mystery Plays, using the Globe’s auditorium to look anew at the earliest form of English drama, using street theatre and processional performance. Howard Brenton’s Anne Boleyn returns to the Globe following its 2010 sell-out run and the season will be brought to a rude and rowdy climax with The God of Soho by Chris Hannan, a satire on modern living, set in contemporary, suburban England.
