"I am beyond thrilled to begin my tenure as Artistic Director at this great American Shakespeare theater by staging my favorite of the Bard's plays," Edelstein said in a statement. "I'm glad to be escorting Shakespeare back indoors at the Globe for the first time in a decade, and I'm very fortunate to be collaborating with an amazing company of actors, a first-rate design team, and a major composer. All in all, it's an embarrassment of riches."
The creative team includes Taylor Peckham (music director), Wilson Chin (scenic design), Judith Dolan (costume design), Russell H. Champa (lighting design), Fitz Patton (sound design), Michael Torke (original music), Bryan Byrnes (fight director), Jan Gist (voice and dialect coach) and Caparelliotis Casting (casting). Anjee Nero is stage manager. Tickets and more information are available by calling (619) 23-GLOBE or visiting TheOldGlobe.org.
