The “Globe to Globe” festival includes companies from six continents, including the world’s most populous countries, China and India, and the youngest – South Sudan, which became an independent nation in July.
Globe artistic director Dominic Dromgoole said a production of “Cymbeline” performed in the local Juba Arabic tongue would be the first time South Sudan has participated in an international cultural event, and a major achievement for the new country.
“The size of their desire to come here was simply overwhelming,” he said.
The festival, part of the cultural warmup to next summer’s 2012 London Olympic Games, reflects the ability of Britain’s most famous playwright to reach audiences in myriad languages and cultures.
It kicks off April 23, Shakespeare’s birthday, with “Troilus and Cressida” in Maori, performed by New Zealand’s Ngakau Toa company, and includes what Dromgoole called a “lurid, tawdry, drugs-and-strippers” version of “Macbeth” from Poland.
