Murray Shakespeare Festival

Thank you, and looking ahead to 2014

Another great Murray Shakespeare Festival has come to an end. The American Shakespeare Festival delivered masterful performances of Shakespeare's hilarious comedy Twelfth Night and John Webster's gripping tragedy The Duchess of Malfi. We hope you enjoyed the festival as much as we did. And now, looking ahead ...

Mark your calendars for next year's Shakespeare Festival performances from March 10-14, 2014, bringing you Othello, Henry IV Part I, and The Merry Wives of Windsor by the American Shakespeare Center.
