Dominic Dromgoole commented, “It was the Globe's greatest stroke of good fortune to have Mark Rylance as its first Artistic Director – an actor of great distinction, and a leader of rare imagination. No-one has contributed more to the success of the Globe than Mark, and we all – actors, artists and audiences – play happily within the conditions he created. It is our further great good luck that he is returning, with his Original Practices team, to play in the Globe again. It will be a fitting climax to an extraordinary summer which begins with our unprecedented Globe to Globe festival.”

2012 begins with Globe to Globe 2012, part of the World Shakespeare Festival for the London 2012 Festival. The celebratory opening weekend is on 21st and 22nd April, and festival of 37 plays in 37 different languages runs from 23rd April to 9th June.
