About

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.
