A Bold Globe Campaign to Stage `Hamlet

Globe to Globe Hamlet Campaign Struggles on Kickstarter

Pauline Montagna posted this campaign on the Shakespeare community on Google+:

If you have some spare money and want to see the Globe's Hamlet in a theatre near you, maybe you should get behind this.

I commented:

Every country, eh... what a terrific, bold idea! £200K must be just a pittance for some billionaire. Still, if the Globe falls short of its target, an alternative idea is this: The directors, actors et al. can work remotely with local theater groups to stage "Hamlet." They can teach, encourage and direct via Hangout or Skype, then arrange to film and edit the staging. In this collaboration, they'd bring into the staging something of the local culture, costume and language. There's no reason let a tight budget be a showstopper!
