The tour was the brainchild of Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of the Globe, and in \u003ci\u003eHamlet: Globe to Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, Dromgoole takes readers along with him.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e From performing in sweltering deserts, ice-cold cathedrals, and heaving marketplaces, and despite food poisoning in Mexico, the threat of ambush in Somaliland, an Ebola epidemic in West Africa, and political upheaval in Ukraine, the Globe’s players pushed on. Dromgoole shows us the world through the prism of Shakespeare—what the Danish prince means to the people of Sudan, the effect of Ophelia on the citizens of Costa Rica, and how a sixteenth-century play can touch the lives of Syrian refugees. And thanks to this incredible undertaking, Dromgoole uses the world to glean new insight into this masterpiece, exploring the play’s history, its meaning, and its pleasures.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “The Shakespearean equivalent of Bourdain’s TV series, \u003ci\u003eParts Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e. . . .
