Joe Craft and Denver Public Schools-Folger Shakespeare Library


Joe Craft, a retired teacher from Denver and director of that city’s Shakespeare Festival, shares with the Denver Public Schools the 2009 Shakespeare Steward Award.

Craft was the driving force behind the Shakespeare Festival, recruiting Denver Public School teachers in 1984 to train students for performances. “Some said it would never work because no kid is ever going to want to learn Shakespeare,” Craft said. That year, some 400 young thespians took to the stage.

Today, he reports, the number of participants is approaching 4,000, with an audience of another 2,000 parents, friends, and passersby.

Jude Law in 'Hamlet': What did the critics think?

One of the most talked-about productions of the current West End season, "Hamlet," starring Jude Law, has generated more advance buzz and online speculation than all of the blockbuster musicals playing in London put together.

Of course, much of the talk has centered around the play's pulchritudinous star, who is no stranger to audiences on either side of the pond. The Oscar-nominated Law, who has returned regularly to the stage between his Hollywood acting assignments, takes the role of Shakespeare's melancholy Dane for the first time in his career in a production from the Donmar Warehouse and directed by Michael Grandage. (The staging duties originally belonged to Kenneth Branagh, but he withdrew due to scheduling conflicts.)

Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus' Finally Gets the Movie Treatment!

Ralph Fiennes is set to make his directorial debut on Coriolanus, an adaptation of the Shakespeareplay of the same name. And now he's lined up some big names to join him, in the shape of Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Jessica Chastain.

The play is being adapted for the screen by John "Sweeney Todd" Logan, and tells the story of the titular Roman general who becomes involved in political intrigue both on behalf of the Roman Republic and against it, unwilling as he is to acknowledge the role of the plebians in the State.

Shakespeare Globe Festival in Neuss Germany

There has been a reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the racecourse in Neuss since 1991 and it is here, every year in Summer, that the works of the Bard of Elizabethan England are given new life. The festival shows productions from all over the world, including, most importantly of course, performances in the original language of Shakespeare. The authentic theatre experience – direct and up close, from the 500 seats of the Neuss Globe.

Ralph Fiennes will reportedly make his directorial debut in an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus.

The English Patient star will play a soldier who is spurred on by his ambitious mother to run for the Roman senate, which ultimately leads to his downfall, reports Variety.

Vanessa Redgrave is said to be in negotiations to play the role of Fiennes's mother Volumnia.

The actor has already begun scouting possible filming locations in Eastern Europe and held meetings with financers.
