- Summary:
- Description: Research bulletin for interviews of company members from the 2001 season. The document contains numerous interviews including an interview with Barry Kyle about the response to the space, in which he discusses how he 'came to the Globe with both a definite sense of what the Globe might do for King Lear, as well as a wish to see a stage environment that was rougher and simpler, one that created the possibility of something quite different'. Kyle also declares that he thinks of the 'playing conditions here as a party; you have to join in'. The interview with Geoffrey Whitehead includes useful points about using the physical space such as noting that 'a big swooping figure of eight pattern of movement around the pillars can be made to look naturalistic, and it takes in most of the auditorium'. An interesting argument is also made by Jack Morrison who claims that 'theatre today is often a very destructive thing; to show emotion an actor might smash wine glasses on stage every night, or throw things against walls'.
