Time Out says

After the Globe's Cultural Olympiad season in spring 2012, when it will stage all of Shakespeare's plays each in a different language, ex-Globe boss and all-round theatre hero Mark Rylance returns to grace its stage in 'Richard III' and 'Twelfth Night'. Right now, Rylance is such hot property that he could show up and recite an obscure poem by Louis Jenkins - as he did when accepting Tonys for 'Boeing Boeing' and 'Jerusalem' - and people would come. First up is hunchback de rigeur Richard III - recently played by Kevin Spacey in Sam Mendes's final Bridge Season. Rylance will take on the much-monstered role of the man who (allegedly) killed the Princes in the Tower from 14th July. Both productions are directed by Tim Carroll, with original music by Claire van Kampen (also Mrs Rylance).
