The Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is the focus of the 'Friday feature' in today's edition of World Update, a current affairs radio programme broadcast by the BBC World Service.

Interviewed about the Playhouse, Zoë explains that this recreation of an indoor Jacobean theatre, which complements the outdoor Globe Theatre, was 'always in the plans' that her father had for the Globe site on London's South Bank.

Zoë emphasises that her father would have been 'thrilled and delighted' with the Playhouse, which opened earlier this year.

You can listen to the full interview on the BBC's website any time during the next seven days; it begins about 20 minutes into the programme.

Updated: The interview is now available as a standalone clip on the BBC's website and a podcast to download.
