All the World's a Stage: The Women Who Made Shakespeare

Enjoy live performances in the gardens of Shakespeare's Birthplace all season long.

At selected dates throughout the year, we are welcoming the talented team from 'Events from History,' who will be performing some of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes.

These live performances will feature duologues with some of Shakespeare’s most iconic female characters as we celebrate the final year of our multi-year theme The Women Who Made Shakespeare. Enjoy scenes with Shakespeare’s much-love characters including Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra, Juliet and Rosalind in the place where Shakespeare was born.

Staged in the gardens of Shakespeare's Birthplace, live performances take throughout the day during weekends, the Warwickshire school holidays, and special days.
