ROUTE: Cape Town to Melbourne will make up Leg 3 of the race.
​Held every three years and spanning eight months, the Volvo Ocean Race is one of the greatest challenges in professional sport. The 2017-2018 edition will take the teams 45,000 nautical miles around the world, across four oceans, touching six continents and 12 landmark Host Cities. Featuring almost three times as much Southern Ocean racing compared to previous editions, the Melbourne stopover will provide vital rest for competitors and an added incentive as double points are on offer for completing the demanding Cape Town to Melbourne race leg.

Pop-Up Globe

20/9/2017

Comments

 

​Shakespeare like it’s 1614

Picture
A full-scale temporary working replica of one of the greatest theatres in history, the second Globe, has just pop-up in Melbourne.
From 21 September - 12 November 2017, Pop-up Globe is the home of the most spectacular season of Shakespeare that Melbourne will ever seen.
Picture
As You Like It
An all-singing-and-dancing cast of fifteen bring you Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy, As You Like It. Set in 1642, and with gorgeous costumes to match, this zany production by our all- male company - complete with human sheep, bone-crunching wrestling, live music and lyrical poetry - will have you crying with laughter.

Much Ado About Nothing
See the legendary Beatrice and Benedick as you’ve never seen them before in Shakespeare’s original ‘rom-com’, Much Ado About Nothing. You’ll laugh and cry from start to finish as they navigate their way to love in this hilarious production which turns Pop-up Globe into an uproarious house party.

Othello
Witness Shakespeare’s ultimate psychological thriller in Pop-up Globe’s production of Othello. Take a journey into the diseased mind of the noble Moor as he’s consumed by ‘the green- eyed monster’ jealousy. The twists and turns in this powerful and dark production will have you on the edge of your seat.

Henry V
Shakespeare’s tribute to one of history’s greatest leaders comes alive like an action movie. Be part of the English army as the heroic King Henry takes on the French army at Agincourt in the face of impossible odds. No knowledge of history is necessary to enjoy this immersive theatrical experience complete with spectacular and blood-thirsty battle sequences, performed by sixteen men in full armour wielding broadswords, longbows, garottes, cross- bows, bagpipes and a frying pan.

Around The Globe In 60 Minutes!
Step into history and experience the triumphs and disasters that tell the story of the second Globe Theatre: from the fascinating story of its construction by Shakespeare and company after the catastrophic mid-performance fire of 1613 to its decline and fall as the bloody English Civil War started in 1642. Along the way, expect to meet outrageous characters from its history, and to laugh, shout and cheer as a cast of five actors share the extraordinary tale of one of the greatest theatres in history: the second Globe.

Picture
Don’t miss the immersive experience of Shakespeare performed in the space for which it was written.
This isn’t dusty Shakespeare. This is now. Alive. Like a party.
See it from 21 September – 12 November 2017.
Price
From $20 (standing uncovered) to $304 (VIP Royal rooms), plus fees
