2 Festival Programme 'The course of true love never did run smooth' One hot Midsummer s night in 1935 Theseus is hosting his annual dance. Four young lovers, torn apart by their families wishes, flee the party and find themselves caught in an enchanted forest where fairies rule and love is just a game of chance. While a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war, their paths are crossed by a troupe of travelling actors from a local Women s Institute. Chief mischief-maker Puck is on-hand to play her tricks and bewitch and bewilder us all. Join us on the 4th August at 2:00pm in the Canterbury Tales Church Yard for a Fair, celebrating all of our upcoming shows! For more details us.

3 Supported by St Augustine s Abbey 'For days out worth talking about' Beware the ides of March. Julius Caesar is the story of the death of one of the greatest Romans to have ever lived. The thrilling story of the man, the people who killed him, and the those who survived him.

4 'O beware, my lord, of jealousy' What happens when love becomes the enemy? Dive into the dark depths of this famous Shakespeare play and discover the extremes humanity can reach. Othello is slowly manipulated to distrust his innocent wife in a jealous plot for revenge, orchestrated by the conniving Iago. Love, lust, betrayal and treachery; all will be explored in this two-hour contemporary staging. VENUE: Eliot College - Courtyard, University of Kent - CT2 7NZ TICKETS: Single - 12 Concessions - 8 Group ticket (4+) (per ticket) Supported by Eliot College University of Kent DATE & TIMES: Friday 11th August-7.30pm Saturday 12th August-3.15pm and 8.00pm Sunday 13th August-2.00pm

5 Supported by the Espression Arts Cafe - 'For something a little different' Hang there like fruit, my soul, Till the tree die. Imogen, King Cymbeline s strongwilled daughter, is heartbroken when her father banishes her lowly husband, Posthumus. She refuses to transfer her affections to her buffoon of a stepbrother, who she is instead expected to marry. If only Cymbeline s two first born children hadn t been abducted meanwhile, Rome is demanding unpaid tribute money from Britain, Posthumus makes a bet with a sly Italian man, rumours of infidelity begin to arise and the Queen seems to be making her own cunning plans. Originally set in Roman Britain, here reimagined as a farcical fairytale, teasing out its humour. DATES & TIMES: Friday 18th August 7.30pm Saturday 19th August 2.00pm and 7.30pm Sunday 20th August 2.00pm VENUE: Eliot College, The Labyrinth, University of Kent - CT2 7NS TICKETS: Single - 12 Concessions - 8 Group ticket (4+) (per ticket) For tickets, updates & more information visit: or us: info@canterburyshakespeare.co.uk

6 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.' King Claudius is dead. As are: Queen Gertrude, Prince Hamlet, Polonius, Laertes, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. A young Horatio tries to make sense of the events leading to King Claudius's death, and the passing of his friend Hamlet. Claudius is a reimagining of the much-loved Hamlet, which focuses on Claudius, and his seizure of power. This experimental and contempory production will be a heavily cut and rearranged interpretation of Shakespeare's classic play, with Claudius being the main Protagonist. This is an experimental production, aiming to explore new writing and expound and reinterpret elements of Shakespeare. VENUE: St Augustine s Abbey Longport, Canterbury CT1 1PF TICKETS: FREE, reserve spaces online to avoid disappointment Supported by the Shakespeare Delicious - Tasty - British. DATES & TIMES: Monday 7th August-7:30pm Sunday 13th August-7:30pm Monday 14th August-7:30pm

7 Supported by The Canterbury Tales - Literature brought to life! 'Is she truly made of Iron?' It is a cold night in the afterlife, and William Shakespeare is preparing to host one of his famous dinner parties. There will be food, drink, famous guests, and most importantly, the unveiling of his latest work: a history play detailing the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. This play about a play is both a fantastical comedy and a Shakespearian tragedy. At one moment you are watching Benjamin Franklin and Dorothy Parker attempting to outwit each other, and the next you are pulled into the depths of a political tale, full to the brim with conquest and betrayal. With both parts performed by a singular cast, Shakespeare s Margaret Thatcher is unlike anything else you are likely to see. This is an experimental production, aiming to explore new writing and expound and reinterpret elements of Shakespeare. DATES AND TIMES: Sunday 6th August-7:30pm Sunday 20th August-7:30pm VENUE: The Canterbury Tales Churchyard, St Margaret's Street - CT1 2TG TICKETS: FREE, reserve spaces online to avoid disappointment For tickets, updates & more information visit: or us: info@canterburyshakespeare.co.uk
