Playing ShakespeareRomeo + Juliet

Who plays the music for productions at the Globe?

Many of the musicians that are employed by the Globe are freelance and play for a variety of other groups. Speculative applications are considered, but more often than not, a musician is recommended by another musician, composer or director, and is then invited to meet with both the music producer and the composerit is rare that musicians are auditioned here. SARAH RENNIX, the musical assistant in the Theatre Deptartment told us about:

- what rehearsals are like for the musicians;

- the different people the musicians work with;

- the difficulties the Globe can present musicians;

- the sort of instruments that have been used at the Globe;

- what the music is like in this production.
