PRESS RELEASE ANCON HILL PUBLISHING
DRAWN TO THE GLOBE
by Chris Duggan Publication Date 23rd April 2016 (Copies available now)
A celebration of Shakespeare on his 400th anniversary and of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in its 20th year of performance.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Since Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened with its 'Prologue Season' in 1996 it has been revelatory in our understanding of the world's greatest playwright, offering an authentic experience of what it was to be a 17th century playgoer and showing Elizabethan and Jacobean performance methods in entertaining and critically acclaimed productions.
Mark Rylance, Vanessa Redgrave, Roger Allam and Stephen Fry are among those who have trodden its weather-beaten boards. It has also proved so popular with playgoers and tourists to London's Bankside that they regularly queue for the last tickets to stand in the rain.
Often standing in the rain himself, Chris Duggan has seen all of the Shakespeare productions at the Globe and about 200 of his lively images are included in this entertaining pocket sketchbook size volume. Pictures in pencil, crayon, ink, acrylic, gouache and watercolour of musicians and actors in character who bring alive the Globe’s stage, alongside quotes from the plays and comments on the peculiarities of this unique venue.
