Hello Neil! Watching Doctor Who- there’s an episode where David Tennant’s doctor meets Shakespeare… they’re at the Globe theatre. Is that the same set that you used in Good Omens? it looks very similar, but of course it would… 

I can’t attach pictures of the Doctor Who set, I’m on mobile, but it’s season 3 episode 2, if that helps any. Thanks a tonne!

Yes, the Globe Theatre in the Doctor Who is the same Globe Theatre we shot Good Omens in. It's this place:

Each character will, the Guardian understands, have a candle avatar that in turn is pummelled, gored or snuffed out completely when the text dictates.

Characters may use meat cleavers, or heat guns, or metal tenderisers to inflict the violence. Sometimes the spraying wax means safety equipment will be needed. The show, which runs from January to April, has an all-female cast.

The theatre is keen to stress that the intention is not to sanitise violence or spare audiences – and points to shows such as The Woman in Black, which succeeds in being truly terrifying by relying on audiences using their own imagination.

“It will feel like the audience is in a torture chamber,” said one theatre source.

"As You Like It" at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre!

I can't believe the whole play is online!

I love this production! (I own the DVD.) I especially love Tim McMullan as Jaques.

If you love Shakespeare or theatre in general, watch this!

Have a pro-tip where to lose your wallet. In exchange for a left-handed Londoner in a suit. No kidding.

Jack Laskey as Oberon and Marianne Oldham as Titania in our 2023 production. Photographer: Helen Murray.

We tend to assume that fairies are white, or at least that Shakespeare thought they were. Not so. Many fairies in folklore are explicitly described as dark skinned, or swart. Perhaps that’s why it made sense to display indigenous peoples as fairies...

...Titania appears elsewhere in Shakespeare’s imagination as the goddess of witches in Macbeth, called Hecate. If we take seriously the claims of the text as we have it, and read it as an integral whole, a strand of the play opens up which is otherwise obscure, a strand which we may dislike because it threatens to connect Macbeth with the most troubling and egregious fantasies of continental witchcraft, and so fingering the stage as one of the proximate causes of the leakage of Continental witchcraft beliefs into English and Scottish witch trials. ‘Pale Hecate’ and her dark offerings are, after all, what ‘witchcraft celebrates’. This Hecate is pale because she is the waning moon, the goddess of the darkest night. Lyrically and figuratively, the play connects her with witches, witches who were called ‘feyries’ by Holinshed. The weird sisters’ interest in babies and the disappearance of Lady Macbeth’s suckling also connect Hecate back to Titania.
