Mark Rylance Revives All-male Twelfth Night at Globe???

After his current Broadway run in – and possible West End reprise of – Jerusalem, Mark Rylance hopes to return next summer to Shakespeare’s Globe, where he was the founding artistic director and served from 1995 to 2005 before handing over to current boss Dominic Dromgoole. According to today’s Daily Mail, Rylance plans to revive his 2002 all-male staging of Twelfth Night. He played Olivia in the production, which he also mounted at Middle Temple Hall (where the Shakespeare classic was first performed in 1602) to mark the play’s 400th anniversary, and went on to win a Critics’ Circle Award for his performance. Rylance told the Mail’s Baz Bamigboye that he’d also like to present Richard III at the Globe and then transfer it to the States, where this week he won his second Tony Award for Best Actor.
