Dateline: 13th February, 2009
News from the Globe The names of the directors and some casting for the Globe's 2009 season, Young Hearts, have been announced. Artistic director Dominic Dromgoole will direct Romeo and Juliet, Love’s Labour’s Lost and the Globe’s second world premiere of the season, Trevor Griffiths’s A New World: A Life Of Thomas Paine. Ellioe Kendrick, who recently played Anne Frank in the BBC adaptation of The Diary Of Anne Frank, plays Juliet in her professional stage debut and, after the run, will take up her place at Cambridge to read English. She is joined in the cast by other young actors who have just left drama school: Adetomiwa Edun (Romeo), Ukweli Roach (Tybalt) and Jack Farthing (Benvolio). Also in the cast is New Zelander Rawiri Paratene who plays Friar Laurence. Thea Sharrock will direct As You Like It which will star Naomi Frederick and Laura Rogers. Deborah Bruce will direct the world premiere of Frank McGuinness’ Helen, a version of Euripides' play, which will star Pennie Downie in the title role. Matthew Dunster will revive his production of Che Walker’s The Frontline, which first appeared at the Globe last year, and will direct the theatre's first ever production of Troilus and Cressida.
