Shakespeare - UK



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 is connected with Shakespeare in a much more profound way. John Heminges who was, together with Henry Condell, the editor of Shakespeare's First Folio, was born in the town in 1566. He was Shakespeare's close associate and an actor who was, allegedly, the first Falstaff ever in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
