The library’s annual Shakespeare Festival returns in April for a month-long celebration of the Bard and Shakespearean artistry, with a fresh new theme: “Remixing the Bard: Modern Takes on Classic Works.”
The festival will offer a unique series of free events including readings, films, lectures, poetry, and even a world premiere performance. All are designed to encourage participants to take a new look at the Bard in exciting and surprising ways, from discussions of innovative staging, expanding on lesser-known characters, integrating the Black experience, speculating on the Shakespeare’s true identity—and more. Check it out!
