The Globe's 400-year wait is over

The Guardian: "If playwright Nell Leyshon is ­overawed by the prospect of ­making history, she's hiding it well. It was announced this week that Leyshon had been ­commissioned by Shakespeare's Globe to write a drama for the ­theatre – the first woman to be asked since its opening in 1599. But ­Leyshon has something else on her mind first: body image. She's working on play about the subject for the ­National Theatre, which has joined her with a group of ­teenagers in ­Plymouth. As we speak, she's ­scurrying through an ­industrial park, ­attempting to find the rehearsal space."
