Social distancing plans include plays without intervals – as they were written, artistic director says
Shakespeare’s Globe theatre on Wednesday announced its post-lockdown summer reopening plans, with a series of safety protocols in place – including no intervals. The play’s the thing and not the glass of wine and dash to the toilet in the middle, theatregoers will realise.
Announcing the season, which will see productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night, artistic director Michelle Terry said the switch to continuous performances was a good and exciting thing.
