Hi Peter,

There’s a complete list of the languages making up the Globe to Globe season here: http://globetoglobe.shakespearesglobe.com/

Sadly, it doesn’t seem that Welsh is one of them. However, I do know that Owain Arthur performed sonnets in Welsh at The Globe yesterday, as part of the launch even for Globe to Globe, called Sonnet Sunday.

Can’t seem to track down a full list of languages for the 37/38 plays to be put on at the Globe. Interested to know whether Welsh takes its place alongside Shona, Aborigine, Maori etc but I expect their cultural history is much greater than that of England’s nearest victim of linguistic bullying.

Agree – and it distracts from the intense look he’s attempting there!

Very very excited about the new theatre at the Globe!
