Performers

The festival need performances! As long as it's Shakespeare themed, we're interested! There's four performance spaces to choose from. We are also looking for companies to run workshops if this is something you are interested in.

 

Please fill out the application form below to enter your company into the festival. 

 

Please note that if we have a high number of applications, we may not be able to accept all companies. Companies chosen will be notified by the 20th March at the latest. Please also note that the festival does not charge you to perform, but does take a 15% administration charge from all profits to cover venue and printing costs. Please include this in your ticket price. Performances can also be free, in which case, the festival will not take anything.
