Shakespeare’s Globe Performs ‘Hamlet’ In Syrian Refugee Camp

THEATRE Posted: November 4, 2015 12:59 am

“Aiming to visit every country in the world to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, and the 400th anniversary of his death, it has visited 136 countries out of 196. The only country the company could not get permission and insurance to visit was Syria, so they performed in the Zaatari refugee camp on the Jordanian border to an entirely Syrian audience.” (photo journal)
