STRATFORD-UPON-AVON is getting ready
to celebrate the 450th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth,
believed to have been on April 23, 1564.
The town’s celebrations will be on
April 26 and 27, when thousands of visitors are expected. There will be an
extended programme of events and activities at the five Shakespeare family
homes and free entertainment in the streets and parks. The Royal Shakespeare
Company will be running a range of free activities in and around its theatres
on April 26, including storytelling sessions, stage fighting workshops and the
chance to see how fake scars and bruises are created.
The festivities start with a 1,000 strong
procession and finishes with the laying of flowers on Shakespeare’s grave at
Holy Trinity Church.
