Let's
Do Shakespeare!
2016 is the year in
which we will mark the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. A
series of programmes, exhibitions and creative activities throughout United
Kingdom and in the rest of the world will celebrate the legacy of famous
playwright.
However, Droitwich Spa

was, together with Henry Condell, the editor of Shakespeare's First Folio, was

was, allegedly, the first Falstaff ever in The
Merry Wives of Windsor.
