The Bible opens the 2011 season at the Globe

In 2011, Shakespeare’s Globe will celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible which was completed in 1611, and the enduring power of dramatic language, with a season entitled The Word is God. Priority booking will open in January, exclusively for Friends of Shakespeare's Globe, with public booking opening in mid-February.

The season will open with a cover-to-cover reading of The Bible from the Globe stage over Easter weekend, followed by Hamlet which plays at the Globe before embarking on a Summer tour of the UK and Europe. Also playing at the Globe before touring will be As You Like It.

Shakespeare news!

I'm a big Shakespeare fan, so I was very interested to visit the new website celebrating the relationship between the Royal Shakespeare Company and their audiences in America. We suggest visiting http://www.rscamerica.org to browse the new site and sign up for their newsletter. You can also become an overseas member and receive priority bookings and other benefits.

If you enjoy seeing Shakespeare live, I encourage you to join me in May, 2009 on our Christian Heritage of England and Scotland tour, which will include seeing Julius Caesar in Stratford-upon-Avon. Call 1-800-303-5534 to request your brochure.
