"The Globe will create an international Shakespeare community in the heart of London, as a prelude to the internationalism which will fill the capital later in the year with the Olympics," said the Globe's artistic director Dominic Dromgoole.

环球剧院的艺术总监多米尼克 德罗古尔说：“环球剧院将在伦敦中心创造一个国际莎士比亚社区，作为伦敦奥运“国际主题”的序曲。到2012年，伦敦会到处弥漫着这种国际化的气氛。”
