The Bristol Shakespeare Festival is a Community Interest Company (CIC), approaching it’s 10th season in 2013 (Friday 28th of June – Sunday 14th of July) and run by a team of dedicated volunteers, passionate about bringing the freshest, most exciting productions of Shakespeare’s plays to some of Bristols’s most beautiful and unusual spaces every summer.

They are striving to continue to programme the highest quality touring productions, which has been the mainstay of their festival since it’s conception. But their primary target for 2013 is to build partnerships, coordinate events and explore new performances and projects, to foster a stronger and more sustainable relationship with the Bristol cmmunity and engage with an ever-increasing and diverse audience.

Their ‘Shakespearances’ involve a diversity of media, from flashmob Shakespeare, bard-busts, film, stand-up comedy, graffiti, queer theatre, Shakespeare in sign, symposiums, art, music and pubs!
