"Two years. 193,000 miles. 190 countries. One play. For the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's
birth the Globe Theatre undertook an unparalleled journey, to take Hamlet to every
country on the planet, to share this beloved play with the entire world. The tour
was the brainchild of Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of the Globe, and in Hamlet
Globe to Globe, Dromgoole takes readers along with him. From performing in sweltering
deserts, ice-cold cathedrals, and heaving marketplaces, and despite food poisoning
in Mexico, the threat of ambush in Somaliland, an Ebola epidemic in West Africa and
political upheaval in Ukraine, the Globe's players pushed on. Dromgoole shows us the
world through the prism of Shakespeare-what the Danish prince means to the people
of Sudan, the effect of Ophelia on the citizens of Costa Rica, and how a sixteenth-century
play can touch the lives of Syrian refugees. And thanks to this incredible undertaking,
Dromgoole uses the world to glean new insight into this masterpiece, exploring the
play's history, its meaning, and its pleasures. Hamlet Globe to Globe is a highly
enjoyable book about an unprecedented theatrical adventure"
