Shakespeare's Globe Finds a New Energy in Romeo and Juliet

A scene from Romeo and Juliet performed by Shakespeare's Globe.
Helena Miscioscia

  Sara Higgins is one of the members of Shakespeare’s Globe, which makes its Spoleto Festival USA debut with a brand new production of Romeo and Juliet. Higgins talks with Jeanette Guinn about how the company brought a new energy to this beloved play.

Renowned for its authentic yet bold productions, this esteemed company hails from London’s rebuilt Globe Theatre—the venue Shakespeare called home. Spoleto Festival USA presents the first US performances of this new production. 

Jeanette Guinn is a professor in the Arts Management Program in College of Charleston’s School of the Arts and is pleased to have former students working in the US, Europe and Australia. After interning at the South Carolina Arts Commission during graduate school, Jeanette spent 25 great years working as an arts manager.
