Dateline: 13th April, 2006
Shakespeare's Birthday at the Globe Shakespeare’s Globe is celebrating Shakespeare's birthday on Sunday 23rd April with a day of Warriors and Queens - Roman style. Following highly successful events over the past two years to commemorate the day, the theatre's doors will ber open to all for a very special free birthday celebration. To launch the day, at 10.15am Cleopatra will sail down the River Thames to the Globe, re-enacting the famous description from Antony and Cleopatra:
She will be met by twenty Roman soldiers and a band of musicians to herald the start of the festivities. Throughout the day family entertainment will include: gladiatorial fighting, a 'best theatrical death' competition, lessons in how to wear a toga, the opportunity to try on Cleopatra's costume, and the chance to take to the world-famous Globe stage and deliver a line or two yourself. There will also be the opportunity to take part in workshops on dance, voice and movement with seasoned Globe professionals. For more information on Shakespeare's Birthday visit www.shakespeares-globe.org or phone 020 7401 9919 No booking is necessary - just turn up! If it rains, all activities will be taken inside. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
