Two years, 190,000 miles, 197 countries and one play. For the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, the Globe Theatre in London undertook an unparalleled journey to share “Hamlet” with the entire world. The tour was the brainchild of Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of the Globe. In “Hamlet Globe to Globe,” Dromgoole takes readers along with him on this wildly ambi- tious expedition. From perform- ing in sweltering deserts, capital and remote cities, heaving mar- ketplaces and on Pacific islands, and despite food poisoning in Mexico, the threat of ambush in Somaliland, an Ebola epidemic in West Africa and political upheaval in Ukraine, the Globe’s players tirelessly pushed on. They carried their own props, instruments and costumes throughout the journey, and could construct an entire set in less than two hours.
