After a 20-year run, the festival’s final edition kicks off Monday and organizers have picked William Shakespeare for the event’s swan song.

Infusing classical drama scenes with elements from Japanese theatre is what the Shakespeare Performance Society brought to Lethbridge's Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden on Wednesday night.

The theatrical celebration runs for nearly a month, featuring live performances every day of the week, except for Mondays, at the Heritage Amphitheatre in Hawrelak Park.

The Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society says despite some significant challenges thanks to Mother Nature, its Shakespeare in the Park performances have still attracted large audiences.

After "much ado about nothing" over language rules with Brossard city officials, the all-female cast of Shakespeare in the Park's Tragedy of Julius Caesar will finally take the stage.

The long-dead Bard is one of Britain's leading cultural ambassadors, and the anniversary of his death on April 23, 1616, is being marked across Britain with parades, church services and — of course — stage performances.

The finding supports a claim — first made in 1879 but long dismissed as myth — that Shakespeare's skull was stolen by grave-robbers in the 18th century.

To coincide with the anniversary of the William Shakespeare's death, auction house Christie's is selling copies of the first four editions of his plays - a collection the auctioneer's head of books.
