Shakespeare is dead is the very first playwriting festival in the Dutch language area. The festival aims to put our contemporary Dutch-speaking playwrights on the centre stage, not only for their own Dutch-speaking audience but also in a wider, international context. What is more, the festival serves as a meeting place to discover work from various other linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Shakespeare is dead is organised by Het nieuwstedelijk in co-production with fABULEUS, WiSPER, Het kwartier, OPENDOEK & Creatief Schrijven, cie Tartaren, LUCA Drama and KULeuven, in collaboration with Kunstenpunt, Literatuur Vlaanderen, Fonds podiumkunsten, Stad Leuven, Theater Bellevue, De Brakke Grond, SABAM, DeAuteurs, deBuren, Novotel and with thanks to OPEK
