This is Roger’s third Olivier to date and he collected his award at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on Sunday 13 March. Directed by the Globe’s Artistic Director, Dominic Dromgoole, the production delighted audiences during the 2010 theatre season and was extended by an extra eight performances to meet audience demand.

Both Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 were filmed in high definition, and in partnership with Arts Alliance Media these productions will appear in cinemas across the world later this year. Speaking about Roger’s win, Dominic Dromgoole commented ‘We are delighted that the Olivier Award panel has recognised the scale of Roger’s achievement.’

Three-times Olivier Award winner Roger Allam is an established RSC and National Theatre actor and recently co starred with Gemma Arterton in Stephen Frears’ film Tamara Drewe. Roger created the role of Javert in the original production of Les Misérables and won the 2002 Olivier Award for Best Actor in Privates on Parade at the Donmar Warehouse.

Shakespeare’s Globe will celebrate its fifth year of regional touring in 2011 with two new small-scale productions of Hamlet directed by Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole and As You Like It, directed by James Dacre. Hamlet will open at Theatre Royal Margate on 13 April, before launching the Globe’s summer theatre season on Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April. The production will conclude in Elsinore, Denmark in August. As You Like It opens in Portsmouth on 12 May, finishing four months later in the unique Regency playhouse of Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds.

Widely considered to be Shakespeare’s intellectual masterpiece, Hamlet will be directed by the Globe’s artistic director Dominic Dromgoole with rising star Joshua McGuire in the title role. Joshua appeared in Posh at the Royal Court in 2010, and will co-star in the new BBC series The Hour with Ben Whishaw and Dominic West. Dominic has directed Shakespeare’s Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 (2010), Love’s Labour’s Lost (2007 and 2009), Romeo and Juliet (2009) and King Lear (2008) for Shakespeare’s Globe. He was Artistic Director of the Oxford Stage Company, 1999-2005, and the Bush Theatre 1990-96, and Director of New Plays for the Peter Hall Company in 1996/7.

Shakespeare’s delightful comedy As You Like It will be directed by James Dacre – director of the 2010 Olivier Award winning production The Mountaintop. A favourite among Shakespeare’s comedies, As You Like It combines cross dressing and slapstick with gentle satire and brilliant conversation.

Using an Elizabethan style booth stage – inspired by paintings and etchings from Shakespeare’s time, when touring was prevalent – two troupes of eight actors will visit beautiful and inspiring settings across the UK and Europe with these scaled-down productions. Venues include a unique trio of England’s oldest working theatres – Theatre Royal Margate, Georgian Theatre in Richmond and Bath Old Wardour Castle near Salisbury Bodleian Library Quadrangle in Oxford The Minack in Cornwall and Storrs Hall Hotel on the banks of Lake Windermere – as well as a number of visits to Shakespeare’s Globe.

Dominic Dromgoole, Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe, commented ‘Now in our fifth year of touring, we have developed an enthusiastic audience around Britain and Europe, who demonstrate a clear appetite for quality Shakespeare on tour. This year, we present two brand new productions and look forward to visiting a number of our regular touring venues, as well as some new additions.”

Shakespeare’s Globe continues its long term partnership with Ford, who will provide the transport for these tours.
