International Shakespeare Festival in Gyuila- Programme
International Shakespeare Festival in Gyuila
9th June-15th July 2018
Since 2005 Gyula Castle Theatre has been organising the international Shakespeare Festival. The one week long Shakespeare Festival is part of the six-week all-arts festival program of Gyula Castle Theatre as an individual festival. In the last nearly 15 years the international Shakespeare Festival has become an important traditional program in Gyula.
In this year we will present different kinds of Hamlet performances and paraphrases, and – as a final play, our own production – Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. The festival will host so famous directors and companies as Nikolay Kolyada (Kolyada Theatre), Victor Frunza (Teatrul Metropolis Bucharest), Kelly Hunter (Flute Theatre). The world-wide known Tiger Lilles will be the Shakespeare Festival special guest. The world of The Tiger Lillies is dark, peculiar and varied, with moments of deep sadness, cruel black humour and immense beauty. Their concert will be an extraordinary experience for the audience. In addition to the main programme, festival guests can enjoy renaissance and modern music concerts, street theatre performances, alternative theatrical performances, student performances, film screenings, Shakespeare conferences, and food from Shakespeare’s time – a festival of gastronomy. All these events give the festival a unique flavour.
