SHAKESPEARE’S Globe Theatre comes to Bridport’s Electric Palace this autumn with three captivating screenings of Elizabethan drama.

The trio of plays are filmed from critically-acclaimed productions in Shakespeare’s ‘wooden o’ Globe’, the feted, faithful reconstruction of the playwright’s 16th century theatre in London.

Shakespeare Globe’s latest production of All’s Well That Ends Well lights up Bridport next Wednesday, Much Ado About Nothing follows on October 10, with Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe coming to the Electric Palace, on October 24. Working in partnership with Arts Alliance Media, Shakespeare’s Globe has made the three productions the creative bedrock of the Globe on Screen Season, ushering high-quality Shakespearean performances into leading cinemas across the US, New Zealand and UK.

All’s Well That Ends Well, directed by John Dove and starring a stellar thespian cast, the production is lauded by critics, and recently received Time Out’s ‘stonkingly impressive comic triumph’ review. By turns romantic and comic, the production draws on Shakespeare’s most inventive language breathing life into single-minded heroine (Helena), her churlish lover (Count Bertram), and a supporting cast of frauds, cynics, sentimentalists and buffoons.
