So excited about this! (Plus, yay for mentioning Shakespeare's contemporaries in her statement! Maybe the Globe will go back to staging early modern plays that aren't part of Shakespeare's ten or twelve greatest hits.)

One can only hope! - although they'd have to film them as well (so, not staging them all in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, for a start), for me to get much benefit from the decision. :)
