First time back to @The_Globe after - you know what. Glorious writing of Arabian Nights tales in #Hakawatis by @hannykha in the candlelit theatre. Intimate storytelling with a feminist twist - full of surprises and joyful laugh out loud moments.

Recommended ☝️ Hakawatis: Women of the Arabian Nights in @The_Globe's candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse 🕯️

Written by @hannykha & directed by @poojghai, this fearless play celebrates storytelling as ancient tales are reclaimed and reimagined. Until 14 Jan https://t.co/Gsxh4gyNqh

[Shakespeare’s Globe @The_Globe]

'Hakawatis is in part a celebration of the art of storytelling and the great oral tradition in Arabic culture... Those stories are dark, sexual, cheeky and daring'

@hannykha talks to @FT about writing a new play in tribute to collaborative storytelling.

@The_Globe A mighty force of nature, a true clown of majestic brilliance, a master of story telling, a kind man, and true artist, who made people happy, and his loss is a loss of greatness.

We’re deeply saddened to hear of the death of the brilliant Marcello Magni. We were so fortunate to work with him on Lear this summer. His light, love and tireless contribution to theatre will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with Kathryn & his family. He will be greatly missed.

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! 🌩️

Kathryn Hunter is #KingLear.

To this great stage of fools...

“Age is more present now, and the sense of loss. And it’s a world that has sort of lost its moral compass, not unlike ours. I’m feeling more and more that it is a sort of everyman’s journey.”

Kathryn Hunter on playing #KingLear, 25 years later.

'She first fell in love with the role as a turbulent teenager, identifying with Lear's determination to thrust himself body and soul into the storm...'

First played 25 years ago, Kathryn Hunter returns to #KingLear, opening tonight in our wooden 'O' 🌩️

Snowdrop the Fairy (custodian of our wooden 'O' during the winter months) is ready to share a little love, joy, and most importantly – magic✨ – from our home to yours this Christmas (and boy, do we need it ❤).

What struck me the most watching Emilia for the 1st time with my daughters tonight was the power of seeing that many women being given the space, time and faith to own every inch of that stage and the strength of the many women who created it. What an honour #EmiliaWatchParty
