The popular song Chuá Chuá, illustrated with scenes of rural life. Girl observes in window. A fountain drains water. A flower. The cattle grazing. River waters. Man seen from window of wattle and daub house. Girl hangs cage with bird. Man walks towards the gate. Ducks in river drink water. The popular song A Casinha Pequenina, illustrated with scenes from rural life. Hut surrounded by banana trees and a coconut tree. Children walk hand in hand, sit on the riverbank. Birds in cages. Again the little house and the vegetation that surrounds it, especially the coconut tree.

Shakespeare’s Globe is a film offering an intimate look at the working life of a unique theatrical institution. It charts a vivid journey from the reconstruction in London of the sixteenth-century open-air playhouse to the establishment of a centre housing the theatre, a permanent exhibition and an unrivalled education programme. The film explores a day in the life of this remarkable enterprise: behind-the-scenes preparations, rehearsals, backstage drama and performance extracts from a production of Romeo and Juliet, together with glimpses into Globe Education workshops and activities, the exhibition and tours. Actors, musicians, directors, Globe Education Practitioners and other experts reveal their knowledge of the original playhouse and its practices, and explain how the modern-day theatre continues to enthral and challenge audiences.
