Presented by ABA Productions and Shakespeare’s Globe
September 25th – 30th 2018
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Amphitheatre, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
Shakespeare’s Globe returns to Hong Kong with three of the playwright’s most popular plays - Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and The Taming of the Shrew.
How did a company tour in Shakespeare’s day? We know that when the theatres closed, a small group of actors, juggling a variety of roles in three or four plays from their extensive repertoire, would leave London and head off on tour. We also know that the choice of play or entertainment was left to the most powerful person of the household.
Join us this September to watch one of the three plays on a specific date, or attend one of the Audience Choice shows, where you - the audience - will choose the play just before the performance is set to begin.
A 10% discount is available for groups of ten or more. For CORPORATE and SCHOOL BOOKINGS, please call 2547 7150 or email info@aba-productions.com
Running time is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes including an interval.
The show will be performed in English
‘The combination of Shakespeare, the Globe and touring ticks every box for me. The chance to share those glorious words and my experience of playing that beautiful theatre with audiences throughout the world excites me beyond measure. And I’m relishing the opportunity to direct three of Shakespeare’s most popular plays in a unique and unpredictable presentation.’

由ABA PRODUCTIONS及莎士比亞環球劇團聯合主辦
2018年9月25日至30日莎士比亞環球劇團隆重回歸香港！今次更將會為大家獻上三部最受歡迎的莎翁作品：《第十二夜》丶《威尼斯商人》和《馴悍記》。
你知道在莎士比亞的年代，英國戲劇界的劇場史嗎？在十六世紀，劇院每季都會關禁一段時間，在這期間，劇院代表會離開倫敦並前往不同地方進行巡迴演出，並準備至少三至四個劇目。而該同一少群演員，每人都會同時在各劇中扮演好幾個不同的角色。至於每天上演的劇目，則由該劇院最重要的人－即觀眾們以投票形式即場作決定。
今個九月，歡迎大家一同觀看指定日期上演的三場劇目，或參加眾多「觀眾自選劇目」之一，並在演出開始前用你神聖的一票選出你的心水劇目。
十人或以上的團體更可享受10％的折扣。有關公司和學校的團體門票預訂，請致電2547 7150或透過電郵到INFO@ABA-PRODUCTIONS.COM查詢更多詳情。
每個劇目的演出時間均為大約2小時15分鐘，包括中場休息。 全部演出將以英文進行。
「是次演出包括了所有最精彩的元素－莎士比亞丶莎士比亞環球劇團，以及巡迴演出！我對能夠在這個美麗的舞台上，向來自世界各地的觀眾表演多個經典的劇目丶朗讀如此優雅的台詞，感到難以言諭的興奮！我會盡請享受以這個最獨一無二丶無法預料的形式，去導演莎士比亞最為人津津樂道的作品！」
