Shakespeare Globe

Research

Globe Research's primary online resource is www.globelink.org where you will can interact with the theatre season, explore the archive, and find out about research events.

Globe Research aims to share the work of scholars and theatre practitioners through research seminars, symposia and public lectures. We provide a forum for scholars and practitioners to advance the knowledge of the original conditions of Shakespearean performance through initiatives such as the Shakespeare Globe Theatre History Seminars.

We also investigate and explore Shakespearean stagecraft and Elizabethan playhouse practice through practical workshops and experiments on the Globe stage which are conducted collaboratively by theatre practitioners and academics. Globe Research conducts dramaturgical research for the theatre productions. We then follow the theatre season to investigate and explore new discoveries made through the performances.

The research activities of the Globe are detailed in online research documents, such as our Research Bulletins (1997-2002), and through the Architecture Research Group. We publish non-Shakespearean plays (Globe Quartos) that have been performed in our Read Not Dead Staged Readings, and occasional lectures, such as Professor Richard Wilson’s International Shakespeare Globe Fellowship Lecture, Fools of Time, Shakespeare and the Martyrs.

Globe Education and Research offer a well-stocked library and archive, housing an extensive performance video archive, as well as the Original Practices Resource.
