Shakespeare’s Globe theatre will hold a festival that will see all
37 of William Shakespeare’s plays performed in 37 languages, over
six weeks in 2012. Armenia’s National Academic Theatre after Gabriel
Sundukyan will present the “King John” at the festival.

To get a better notion of the creative life of the participating
theatres, the Directorate of the Festival has decided to visit the
participant countries.

Director of the Festival Tom Bird, who arrived in Armenia yesterday,
says to be delighted by the performance of the Armenian actors.

The festival will be a complex logistical exercise, and producer
Tom Bird said the ground rules given to participants were simple –
don’t bring a set, rely on costumes and movement and “revel in the
music of your own language.”
