Do you remember the first Shakespeare play you ever read?

Well for one night only, 13 of the most beautiful and memorable Shakespearean plays including Macbeth, The Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night’s Dream will come together in a show not to be missed – exposing the audience to a variety of dance genres and entertainment.
