Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Globe to Globe Festival opened its doors on the 23rd of April 2012. The event ran until the 9th of June 2012 as a core component of the World Shakespeare Festival.
Tom Bird served as the director for this ambitious project. His goal was to present Shakespeare's plays in the diverse languages spoken across London itself rather than just English translations.
Thirty-seven distinct productions filled the stage over six weeks of performance. Each play appeared in one of thirty-seven different languages from around the world including Urdu, Zulu, Māori, Russian, Swahili, Greek, Hindi, Mandarin, Korean, Italian, Juba Arabic, Cantonese, Arabic, Bangla, Polish, Shona, Serbian, Albanian, Macedonian, Mexican Spanish, Argentine Spanish, Armenian, Belarusian, Georgian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, British Sign Language, Gujarati, Yoruba, Turkish, Hebrew, Castilian Spanish, Dari Persian, German, French, Lithuanian, and English.
Eighty percent of those attendees had never visited the Globe before this festival. More than one hundred thousand people attended the performances during the six-week run which represented a significant demographic shift for the historic venue.
The festival was recorded through blog responses published on the Theatre's own website. Additional documentation appeared on the Year of Shakespeare blog platform where visitors could share their perspectives directly through these online channels.
