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."
