‘What’s past is prologue’
The Tempest, Act II, scene 1
As we explore and celebrate Shakespeare’s transformative impact on
our world, we find ourselves asking questions about then and now: Who
and what was having an impact on Shakespeare? How do we respond to
his work today? And how will future generations respond in turn, both
to Shakespeare and to us? In a season of call and response from then
to now, we look to the past in order to question the present. What is
Shakespeare’s legacy? And what will be ours?
The spine of the winter theatre season, in our intimate, candlelit home,
the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, is made up of two pairings of plays by
Shakespeare and his celebrated counterpart, Christopher Marlowe. In
the autumn, we explore the theme of ‘Ambitious Fiends’ in Shakespeare’s
Macbeth and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, and in the new year we find ourselves
‘On the Shoulders of Ghosts’, examining ancestral relationships and notions
of identity, sexuality, desire and power in Richard II and Edward II. Throughout
the season we are inviting today’s artists to examine, rework and elaborate
on these 400-year-old provocations with new work written in response to
Shakespeare and Marlowe.
As we summon up and commune with the ghosts of our predecessors, we
in turn lay the groundwork for future generations. Our Playing Shakespeare
with Deutsche Bank project enters its 14th year, opening the doors of the
Globe to the next generation of audiences. Our programme of public events,
workshops and courses offers countless ways to encounter Shakespeare
through play, in the theatres for which he wrote, for everyone from primary
school pupils through to experienced scholars, while our Read Not Dead
series continues to shed new light on Shakespeare’s contemporaries.
Running alongside the theatre season are family storytelling events around
Macbeth and a scholarly symposium and new temporary exhibition on
‘Shakespeare, Hell and Damnation’.
In our reconstruction of an archetypal Jacobean playhouse, it’s easy to
forget that this is still such a young theatre, in which the conjuring of the
past relies as much on our imagination as it does on historical evidence.
Join us this winter as we explore stories from the past, the ghosts of then,
and the storytellers from yesteryear, and simultaneously, collectively,
create the ghosts of ‘tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow’.

Ambitious Fiends
In our first festival of the season, we
will explore early modern and modern
responses to the themes of power and
corruption. Includes Macbeth, Doctor
Faustus, Dark Night of the Soul and
Ralegh: The Treason Trial.
November 2018 – February 2019
Returning as heroes from the battlefield, Macbeth and Banquo
encounter three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will
become King of Scotland. When Lady Macbeth learns of this,
she compels her husband to murder King Duncan, unleashing a
brutal cycle of bloodshed, paranoia and guilt, as the couple do
whatever is needed to cling to the crown.
Macbeth is a timely reminder of the destruction that can result
from the quest for power, and an examination of the evil forces
that can take root in the imagination of a tyrant. The flickering
candlelight of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse provides the
perfect setting for Shakespeare’s unsettling variation on the
theme of the Faustian pact.

Doctor Faustus sits in his Wittenberg study, restless for
knowledge and frustrated with the limitations of conventional
scholarship. Coveting fame and power, he conjures the menacing
demon, Mephistopheles, who offers Faustus a deal: in exchange
for twenty-four years of supreme power and service from the
demon, Faustus must sacrifice his immortal soul to a fiery Hell.
The Devil’s deal is signed in blood and Faustus’ powers elevate him
to unrivalled notoriety as he travels the world performing wonders.
Yet as time ticks on and Faustus’ final hour of reckoning approaches,
the true cost of his bargain becomes an all too certain reality.
As cautionary now as when it was written, Marlowe’s poetic
masterwork explores the very nature of human curiosity and our
unparalleled thirst for knowledge. It also begs the question: what
are we prepared to sacrifice in the pursuit of power?
‘O, Faustus, they are come
to fetch away thy soul!’

#DarkNightSoul
The Faustian myth continues to fascinate and
intrigue, particularly in times of moral crisis. But the
myth has been so appropriated by the man, the male,
the masculine, that there has been little exploration
or discovery of what it means for the woman, the
female, the feminine, to stop at a crossroads and
‘sell her soul’.
Macbeth and Doctor Faustus are Shakespeare’s and
Marlowe’s responses to the Faustian bargain, so whilst
they are performed throughout the winter, a new series
of responses will play in tandem, all written for the
DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL unique architectural playing conditions of the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse.
The feminine response to the Faustian myth An ensemble of women writers that includes Lily
Bevan, Lisa Hammond and Rachael Spence, Katie
Hims, Athena Stevens and Amanda Wilkin, will respond
to the provocation, with the ultimate aim of creating
a chorus of female voices at the crossroads, asking
the question: What would you sell your soul for?
‘That time may cease, and
midnight never come’
Doctor Faustus
The individual writers’ responses will be performed at various dates and times (still to be
announced) around performances of Doctor Faustus, but on four evenings we will perform
a selection of the pieces together. For dates and times of these Anthology Performances,
please refer to the schedule or website.

thousand expectant eyes. Ralegh enters,
slowly, walking with a cane, neither proud #RaleghTrial
nor defiant, concealing a limp with a
studied control.
Ralegh bows to the bench. Then to the jury. The charge is read.
So begins the trial of the best hated person in England. A trial
that changed history.
Ralegh: The Treason Trial is an immersive, verbatim account
of what played out on that extraordinary November morning,
compiled and edited from sources present at the trial itself.
This new work will premiere in Winchester Great Hall, the location
of the original trial 415 years ago, before a limited run in the
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. It will be set in the arena of today’s
political judicial system. As such we will be abandoning the doublets
and ruffs of the early 17th century in favour of the lanyards and
bureaucratic dress of the modern day corridors of power.
‘Say to the court, it glows
And shines like rotten wood’
Walter Ralegh, The Lie
Jury tickets
This is an authentic, verbatim trial. As such we will need a jury. Each
performance will have twelve jury seats available for purchase
specifically positioned either side of the performance area. Please be
aware that if you choose to be a member of the jury you will be sworn
in before the court and must sit in judgement over the defendant.
Please check the website or speak to box office for more information about jury tickets.
What’s In A Name?
During Ralegh’s lifetime, there was no standardised spelling of surnames. Consequently, the
way his name was written down varied enormously, from spellings like Rawleye to Rayley or the
even more obscure Raulyghe or Raule. He didn’t even spell his own name consistently for much
of his life, but from about 1585 he did seem to settle on the spelling Ralegh, which is what we’ve
opted for. Surprisingly, there is no record of him ever using posterity’s favoured spelling, Raleigh.

‘My father is deceas’d! Come, Gaveston,
And share the kingdom with thy
dearest friend…’
Edward II, Act I, scene 1
King Edward recalls his lover, Gaveston, from
banishment and sets in motion a chain of events
that will culminate in some of the most shocking
scenes in all of early modern theatre.
Threatened by the preferment shown to the ‘upstart’
Gaveston, and exasperated by Edward’s neglect of
matters of state, the king’s nobles join forces with
Queen Isabella and the clergy to plot the downfall of
Edward’s circle of flatterers, and ultimately of the
king himself.
Edward II is a play about homosexuality, the abuse of
power and a quarrelling court. Filled with song and
poetry and heart and guts, it is a violent, sumptuous
and altogether thrilling ride of a Renaissance piece set
in the period it was written (1593 or thereabouts). Ten
actors and three musicians will take on this incredibly
visceral story in the candlelit beauty of the Sam

#AfterEdward
Edward II wanders on to the empty stage, bloodied and confused.
He has no idea where he is, or how he got here, but he does have an
ominous feeling that something is wrong. As that feeling grows, so
too does the threat on the other side of the auditorium doors.
Edward finds himself locked inside the theatre with some rather
anarchic fellow inmates: Gertrude Stein, Harvey Milk and Quentin
Crisp. As they set about unravelling what has happened, only one
thing is certain: everything is not as it seems...
A daring new play written specifically for the Sam Wanamaker
Playhouse in response to Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II, After
Edward welcomes us into a chaotic world of pride and shame,
with moments of elation, outrageous humour and heart-breaking
tenderness.
Oh, and Maggie Thatcher.
In a play that reminds us of the power of theatre to provoke
recognition and reflection, this is Edward II as you’ve never seen
him before.
‘I think it’s queer.
And it’s about to get queerer…’
After Edward
Please note that this production may contain some strong language.
Later in 2018 we will announce further events as part of our series of modern responses
