Shakespeare’s Globe on Film

Three productions from Shakespeare’s Globe 2009 theatre season have been filmed. Special attention was made to how they were cut and assembled together, so that they could be screened and released onto DVD and Blu-ray in time for this Spring/Summer.  All part of the Globe’s new partnership with Opus Arte.

Screenings of Dominic Dromgoole’s production of Romeo & Juliet will be shown at Odeon, Vue and other selected independent cinemas throughout the UK in February.  Further screenings scheduled internationally in the months to come.
