Michelle Terry will take over as the artistic director at Shakespeare’s Globe in London from April 2018. An Olivier Award-winning actor and writer, she is well-known to the Globe’s stage, having starred in As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Love’s Labour’s Lost. She also directed Richard III, King John and As You Like It for The Complete Walk (2016), a series of short films created as part of the Globe’s celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Terry said: “There are no other
theatres more perfectly suited to house these plays than the pure and uniquely democratic spaces of The Globe and the

The Globe is a reconstruction of the open-air playhouse first built in 1599, where Shakespeare worked and for which he wrote many of his greatest plays.
