A fantastic chance to combine your love of the movies with your love of Shakespeare
Our 2018 Shakespeare film festival sees the return of popular outdoor screenings at Shakespeare's New Place. Join
us to see films old and new inspired by Shakespeare.
Don't miss our animation workshops from top UK animators. It’s a
fantastic chance to combine your love of the movies with your love of
Shakespeare - or give either one a try for the first time!
Enter Shakespeare Shorts - create a short film inspired by Shakespeare. For more information visit our Shakespeare Shorts competition page. Entries must be received by Wednesday 1 August at 5pm (GMT).
Screening: West Side Story
7.00pm, Friday 21 September - Shakespeare's New Place
Inspired by Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story addresses what happens when love transcends hatred. Although it doesn’t have a happy ending (any more than Romeo and Juliet) it leaves with hope for future reconciliation
Animation Workshops
10.30am & 2.00pm, Saturday 22 September - The Shakespeare Centre, Henley Street
Let animation super star Drew Roper and his team guide you through surprisingly simple techniques to create your very own stop-motion animation. We will run one adults and one children’s session – it’s equally fun for both, and both achieve amazing results!
Screening: Filming Shakespeare
