Globe Restored, The
- Synopsis
- Radio broadcast. In 1971 the fist World Shakespeare Congress passed a resolution expressing the hope that a studied effort will soon be made to build a full-scale reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Plans have now been initated by Wayne State University in Michigan, USA to advance that reconstruction and to rebuild the Globe Playhouse on the banks of the Detroit River. John Wilders reports on the international symposium convened earlier this year to study the historical details and practical requirements and to see a production of Much Ado About Nothing performed on a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre’s stage.
