From The Stage:
Shakespeare's Globe artistic director Emma Rice and playwright Joel Horwood are to adapt Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Matchgirl this Christmas.
The show forms part of Rice's inaugural winter season at the Globe, comprising five productions that will run in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
The Little Matchgirl (and Other Happier Tales) features live music and puppetry and runs from November 4 to January 22. Rice also directs.
John Milton's Comus – A Masque in Honour of Chastity opens the season on October 26, directed by Lucy Bailey.
Christmas will also see All the Angels – Handel and the First Messiah performed at the venue. Nick Drake's play charts the story of the famous choral work and will be directed by Jonathan Munby.
It runs from December 6 to February 12.
John Webster's The White Devil, directed by Annie Ryan, and Othello, directed by Ellen McDougall, will run in the playhouse in early 2017.
The White Devil opens on January 26, running to April 16, with Othello closing the season, running from February 23 to April 16.
Announcing the season, Rice said: "As the nights draw in, my Wonder Season moves indoors and slips sensuously into ‘noir’. I’ve been itching to get into the magical den that is the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and can’t wait to explore its intoxicating beauty."
