The Great Globe Itself: All Things Shakespeare

A few quick news-ish pieces!

If you missed The Hollow Crown for whatever reason, each episode is lurking around on YouTube. Get 'em while they're hot.

If you poke around in the DeviantArt gallery of Rod Espinosa, you can find neat comic-style illustrations for a couple of plays, including Cymbeline, Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. I haven't been able to find a set-up that's more ordered, but if I do, it'll go up here.

Via shakespearean, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre plays set to screen in movie theaters in the UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand, including All's Well That Ends Well, Much Ado About Nothing and, for Dr. Who fans, the production of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus featuring Arthur Darvill. Trailer and poster here.

You're all probably going to hear a lot about my overwhelming love of Cymbeline in the future. One thing that makes me happier than just about anything is seeing other people wildly in love with Cymbeline too.

notinboats has just started a comic adaptation of Shakespeare's clips show (I say that with deep and abiding love), and she's typing up a bunch of interesting notes beneath each page on her process. New pages are due to come out once or twice a week, and the story is set in "vaguely 1940s Britain." Give it a look-see! (She's also got some excellent Shakespeare illustrations on her website.)

Anyone else know of any good Shakespeare-derived projects floating around?

Many people here have Tumblrs or follow Tumblrs. There are a number of great Shakespeare-related ones out there! Some of these are rarely updated, which is a shame, but I would definitely love to hear about more that I've missed if you have them. (The way you can link Tumblrs on DW is <user name="fillintheblank" site="tumblr.com">.)

shakespearean seems to be the most active Shakespeare-specific Tumblr I've seen. Lots of great links to articles, productions, videos and news.

fuckethaythehollowcrown, for all your The Hollow Crown needs.

fuckyeahsleepnomore is for making all of us who haven't had the chance to experience this by all accounts brilliant reinterpretation of Macbeth jealous.

( A few more, more archival than not. )

So yes! What are your favorite Shakespeare Tumblrs?
