About

Globe 400 box contains all 19 Globe Shakespeare titles issued so far, plus Marlowe's Dr Faustus as a bonus DVD. Includes Twelfth Night with Stephen Fry & Mark Rylance

This collection brings together 20 productions from 2009 to 2014 during the artistic directorship of Dominic Dromgoole. Featuring the finest actors and leading directors, it is part of a project committed to creating ever wider access to this rich cultural heritage. In it there is dazzling poetry, romance, epic power struggles, human tragedy, and ingenious and raucous comedy.

These films capture the unique atmosphere and theatrical space of the Globe Theatre. The exhilarating sense of interaction between the actors on stage and the audience in live performances is exquisitely maintained on screen.

Here is an invitation to stand with kings in battle, to fall in love, to witness the brutal machinations of politics, and to laugh with rogues.
