Following the storming success of The Globe’s production of As You Like It in Dumfries last June The Bakehouse, the Gatehouse of Fleet based arts organisation, once again brings Shakespeare’s Globe to The Crichton with their flagship production of Hamlet widely considered to be Shakespeare’s greatest play.

‘The Globe is coming on August 22nd and 23rd this year,’ says Chrys Salt, Artistic Director of the Bakehouse, ‘and we’re confident this production will attract residents, holiday makers and young folk from across the region.’

New Successes for Bakehouse

"The Bakehouse is an exciting place to be," says Bakehouse Artistic Director, Chrys Salt, "despite all the cuts and chaos in the arts at the moment."

The ongoing success of Bakehouse readings and workshops has led to another coup for the venue as Book Trust Scotland has supported its planned Winter series of events and readings, “Telling Stories".

The Bakehouse has secured another five funded placements to bring in readers from across Scotland, and as ever The Bakehouse plans to support both national and local figures.

"This is excellent news," says John Hudson who devised the series with his colleagues. "We are building real momentum with these themed series and offering quality events on a monthly basis. It's what people deserve and need despite these somewhat austere times.
