Tom Bird, Executive Director at York Theatre Royal currently, was working at Shakespeare's Globe when he set up the Globe to Globe Festival in 2012. As Executive Producer of the Festival he was also involved in working with the Arts Council and the BBC to make sure that all of the productions were filmed and made available online through The Space website.
The Globe to Globe Festival therefore had a digital form of dissemination alongside the live performances from the beginning. In addition many audience members, critics and academics responded to the performances online providing quite a big digital footprint for the Festival.
In contrast to this organised and focused digital presence, the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour, which travelled to 197 countries, had a much more dispersed digital response. The production was often filmed by audience members informally and Shakespeare's Globe had a website that covered the actors' journey around the world but the only organised digital afterlife appears through the Google Cultural Institute.
Tom concludes this conversation with Christie Carson by thinking about what the Covid crisis means for theatre makers and audiences. He suggests that this moment of crisis will fuel fundamental debates about what the theatre is for in the future.
