For the first time, the complete works of William Shakespeare are to be perfomed in a single season. “As well as his well-known plays, the Complete Works of Shakespeare Festival will feature his entire collection of sonnets, poems and other works. The seven-month festival will begin in April 2006, with performances at Royal Shakespeare Company theatres and other venues in Stratford-upon-Avon. Visiting theatre companies from across the globe will also take part.”
