Founded in 1599-m, Globus 14 years were burned, but a year later, to the great joy of Shakespeare, was restored. Today was erected in the same place “the globe” is in danger of being razed to the ground COVID-19. To imagine London without the Globe is mind-boggling. “Shakespeare’s globe” has become an integral part of the cultural landscape of Britain. Annually it is visited by over a million tourists from all over the world.
Julian knight, Chairman of the Committee of the house of Commons to study the effects of coronavirus on British industry of art, appealed to the Minister of culture Oliver Gaudino calling for additional support. “Despite the fact that we are well managed and, crucially, able to operate without government subsidies, we will not be able to survive this crisis,” – said in a statement. It would be “a tragedy for art, for heritage the most famous writer of England, but also for the country, if our cultural relics on Bankside was empty”.
Fighting for your own salvation, “Shakespeare’s globe” has moved to a regime of strict economy, using a government scheme to reduce costs, in order to stay afloat. But, as paradoxical as it sounds, the famous theatre is not entitled to a package of emergency support provided by the British Council for the vast majority of creative organizations in the country. “We are a model for the unsubsidized sector of art… but in the face of such a crisis as this, there is no mechanism to help us,” admitted Julian knight.
He stressed that “Shakespeare’s globe” is a Prime example of the huge contribution of the arts to the UK economy. “For this national treasure to give COVID-19 would be a tragedy,” he said. “The globe” today requires at least five million pounds to continue its existence. The measures of support, they can count on this theater, do not cover all costs in connection with the cancellation of the performances.

The silence and solitude of London Broadway of steel, as noted in the British media, “a bright signal in unprecedented times.” “The disposal of the government to keep a distance between people has put a fat point in the hopes to continue theater activity,” – wrote in his closer in the obituary article in the London “evening standard”. The leaders of the theatre industry in Britain has warned that the theatres of the country literally teetering on the edge of a precipice, as some of them will definitely go bankrupt if the government does not propose specific aid package.
