Chicago Shakespeare Theater in the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad
chicagotribune.com: Chicago Shakespeare Theater said Monday that it will be the only U.S. theater company among the 37 international troupes invited to be part of the “Globe to Globe” festival for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
It is great to hear that at least one theater company from the USA will be going to this festival in London. I find it kind of strange that only one company is coming from the US I wonder if there will be more companies saying that they are going in the coming weeks. I still find it somewhat startling that they are going to be fighting for resources against the Olympics. I would like to see a list of the companies that are going to be performing over this six week period. I also would like to see the group that is coming from the US perform their piece. I wonder if there will be a similar something that they will perform back in the states.
I am glad that the United States will be represented by at least one theatre company. I also find it a bit odd that American English is considered a different language than other countries English. I would be curious to know why the language that Chicago Shakespeare Theater was asked to perform in was “American Hip-Hop.” I would be very interested to see the different productions performed by the different countries. I would be interest to see how their cultural backgrounds influence the way that one interprets Shakespeare.
