Moments are incredible, but in my fantasy mind I see a Globe company which is renowned throughout the world for what it does with pure storytelling. So that people come and say: it's not just the building, it's the only place you can hear this kind of work.
From Mark Rylance
It's an intuitive exercise to do a Shakespeare play and to go through a Shakespeare play.
And it is a very beautiful idea, and possibly true, that a common man from Stratford with a common education was able to write these plays.
And people do enjoy the plays at completely different levels. And, likewise, they enjoy the authorship question... at completely different levels.
Our job is to make manifest the story, to be it. In a sense, the theatre is such a big star itself, bigger than any Shakespearean actor I could hire, that we should take the opportunity to fill it with voice and verse and movement, not interpretation.
