Is this a film that I see before me? This April sees the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, the playwright regularly recognised as one of the world’s greatest storytellers. To celebrate the bard’s legacy, GFT has put together a unique programme of work showing the immortality of his tales, which have been adapted time and time again for generations of audiences to enjoy.
Specially commissioned programme notes are available for this season.
