The Trinity College Dublin Shakespeare Festival
2011
Trinity College is Ireland's oldest and most prestigious
university and was founded by Queen Elizabeth 1st in 1592 just two years
before A Midsummer Night's Dream was first performed.
William Shakespeare was a 28 year old actor and playwright performing his
own plays in London and on tour in the open air. Trinity’s early
years ran parallel with the creation of these great works and it is possible
its first scholars would have seen the great man perform live.
This beautfiul Elizabethan College is the perfect setting
for open air Shakespeare to be performed in the 3rd annual Trinity College Dublin
Shakespeare Festival. The GB Theatre Company's productions of Romeo
& Juliet and Twelfth
Night will be the headline show in a week featuring over
50 different performances of William Shakespeare's work, all of which
will take place throughout Dublin's most idyllic locations.
