This second release from Globe Music, our very own record label, celebrates the music from the Globe’s award-winning 2012 – 2014 Broadway and West End productions of Twelfth Night and Richard III. 

Performing music that Shakespeare would recognise on a wide array
of rare historical instruments, the Musicians of Shakespeare’s Globe
perform over two dozen short masterworks from the period that
featured so prominently in these productions. This includes works by Morley, Holborne, Dowland, Gibbons, Mundy, and others, arranged by Claire van Kampen.

1 What were your first impressions of the Duke?
2 How have these impressions developed during rehearsal and performance?
3 The Duke has a fraught relationship with Lucio in the play. What do you think of this character?
4 The Duke’s plan to curb vice within his state can be seen as overly harsh. Can you explain your view of his methods?
5 Can you describe the Duke’s journey throughout the play?
6 In this production, Measure for Measure is a ‘comedy thriller’. How does this affect our view of the Duke and his actions?
7 How would you describe the Duke’s relationship with Isabella?
8 In recent years, productions of Measure for Measure have emphasised the darker aspects of the play. Do you think the label ‘problem play’ is misguided?
8b Have audience reactions to the Duke confirmed that the play works as a comedy?
9 How do you get in character before a performance?
10 Audience reaction to Measure for Measure
11 How do you approach the language of Measure for Measure? 
12 Question 11 continued: making the transition from page to stage.
