The Friends' of Shakespeare's Globe |
|
|
The Friends of Shakespeare's Globe (FOSG) is a voluntary organisation which
was set up in 1985 in order to provide backing for the Globe Theatre project.
Over the years it has provided invaluable support, both in terms of finance
and manpower. It is a registered charity, numbered 800716.
|
|
Current values for the membership show a figure approaching 8000 people,
with many more joining every month. These people united by their
love of Shakespeare, come from all walks of life. There are carpenters,
accountants, historians and scientists, with the unemployed standing
side by side with nobility. The popularity of the project extends
worldwide, with over 1000 members from countries outside the United Kingdom.
|
|
Each year the Friends provide the theatre with a unique service, by
providing the backbone of the voluntary theatre stewards who work each and
every performance in the Globe. The work, though demanding, is extremely enjoyable, and
gives one a unique view of life in and around the Globe.
|
|
As a member of FOSG you are entitled to; priority booking for performances at
the Globe, free admission to the Globe exhibition (and a discount for a
companion), a quarterly
newsletter (now in full colour) with all the up to date news about the Globe
project, and invitations to a wide variety of events organised by the Friends.
