From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Shakespeare festival is a theatre organization that stages the works of William Shakespeare on an ongoing basis.
Origins[edit]
In 1830, the Mulberry Club (a scholarly group formed in Stratford-upon-Avon, named after the destroyed New Place mulberry tree) began organising annual festivities on Shakespeare’s birthday, which they referred to as the «Shakespeare Festival». These continued until at least 1836.[1] From 1886 to 1919, Frank Benson directed 28 spring and six summer «Shakespeare festivals» at the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford.[2]
In 1935 the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, or OSF, was founded in Ashland, Oregon, USA. Originally named the «Oregon Shakespearean Festival»; the name was changed in 1988. Angus L. Bowmer, founder of OSF, wrote in 1954 that Shakespeare Festivals have in common the following attributes: 1) established firmly in one place; 2) repertoire (staging a variety of Shakespeare plays) and 3) a physical stage similar to that used in Shakespeare’s lifetime.[3] According to Bowmer, the inspiration for Elizabethan staging of contemporary Shakespeare productions came from William Poel, an English director who organized the Elizabethan Stage Society in London in the early 20th century. His concepts of Elizabethan staging were brought to North America by Ben Iden Payne.
Other early Shakespeare festivals in North America staged on replicas of the Globe Theatre include the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego (1937)[4] and the Hofstra Shakespeare Festival,[5] launched at Hofstra University in 1950. The American Shakespeare Theatre operated on a festival stage in Stratford, Connecticut, United States from 1955 to the 1980s.
Arthur Lithgow, father of actor John Lithgow, founded the «Antioch Shakespeare Festival» (also known as Shakespeare Under the Stars») at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in 1952. In its five years of existence, the Festival performed the entire Shakespeare canon.[6][7] In 1953, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival was founded in the Canadian city of Stratford, Ontario, with Tyrone Guthrie as the festival’s first Artistic Director. The New York Shakespeare Festival in New York City (now known as The Public Theater) has produced Free Shakespeare shows since 1955.[8]

ДЕНЬ РОЖДЕНИЯ ШЕКСПИРА И ДЕНЬ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Сегодня, 23 апреля, день рождения Уильяма Шекспира.
Уильям Шекспир
23 апреля 1564 – 3 мая 1616 г. (52 года)
Возможно, это единственный
прижизненный портрет поэта и драматурга
Портрет 1610 года
Дата рождения классика мировой литературы точно не известна, потому что в метриках указывался более важный день — день, когда ребёнка крестили. Окрещён же младенец был 26 апреля. Крестят, как принято, на третий день после рождения, вот и получается, что родиться Уильям Шекспир должен был 23 апреля.
Наследие Шекспира для мировой культуры бесценно.
[НО…]
Но сегодня мы отметим только одну из его сторон, а именно, воздействие на развитие английского языка.
Нужно сказать, что во времена Шекспира английский язык ещё не был кодифицирован – ни грамматика, ни орфография, ни даже произнесение многих слов ещё не обрели своего окончательного литературного оформления.
Написанное же Шекспиром и произнесённое со сцены помогло закрепить в общенациональном языке выбранные им варианты, и тем самым оформить современный английский язык.
День рождения Уильяма Шекспира, 23 апреля, и стал Международным днём английского языка.
Одновременно в 2010 году были учреждены праздники каждого из официальных языков ООН:
1. Английский язык – 23 апреля
2. Арабский язык – 18 декабря
3. Испанский язык – 12 октября
4. Китайский язык — 20 апреля
5. Русский язык – 6 июня
6. Французский язык – 20 марта.
В качестве цели учреждения памятных дат основных языков названо укрепление многоязычия в мире…
Ну что же цель вполне благородная.
Но нельзя не заявить со всей решительностью, что лидирующее положение английского языка в мире было достигнуто не в результате того, что сами англичане называют fair play, честной игрой. Вспомним, например, насильтсвенное внедрение английского в образовательную систему Индии, самой большой демократии в мире, как страну не устают характеризовать прежде всего англичане и американцы.
В настоящем демократическом мире лидирующее положение какого-то отдельного языка не должно достигаться в результате политики лингвистического империализма, когда этот язык, например, английский, насаждается в ущерб остальным языкам, а те беспощадно подавляются.
Следует также учитывать, что линглистический империализм проявляется, помимо всего прочего, и в том, как английский язык преподаётся той или иной целевой аудитории. Само собой разумеется, чтобы стать ‘белым воротничком’ в англоязычном мире, английским нужно овладеть в совершенстве и говорить на нём правильно, по меньшей мере без грубых лексико-грамматических ошибок.
Ну, а тем, кто ни на что не претендует, достаточно понимать команды ‘белых воротничков’:
— Налей в бак бензин.
— Протри ветровое стекло.
— Подай… прими… пошла вон…
Соответственно, и учебный процесс выстраивается вокруг, упрощённо говоря, только разговорынх формул (Hi / Hello / Goodbye / ) или же с интенсивным преподаванием, в частности, той же грамматики…
А уж сколько времени уделять овладению иностранным языком – это в значительной степени зависит от самого человека, правда, пока он не задавлен работой в какой-нибудь подпольной потогонной фабрике…

Many fans and enthusiasts of William Shakespeare, who was one of England’s greatest poets and dramatists, celebrate National Shakespeare Day, also known as Shakespeare Day, on April 23 each year. April 23 is also St George’s Day and the United Nations’ World Book and Copyright Day, which was a natural choice to pay a worldwide tribute to writers such as Shakespeare.
Is Shakespeare Day a Public Holiday?
Shakespeare Day is not a public holiday. It falls on воскресенье 23 апрель 2023 г. and most businesses follow regular воскресенье opening hours in United Kingdom.

What Do People Do?
Special pageants are held at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, where Shakespeare was born and where thousands of tourists go each year to see his plays performed. The bells of Holy Trinity Church ring out and the Mayor of Stratford leads a procession there to lay flowers on Shakespeare’s’ grave. The procession includes bands, civic dignitaries, costumed actors and actresses, Morris dancers, and the staff and pupils of some local schools.
In some schools, regular lessons are set aside for students to learn about the great playwright and poet, and his sonnets, narrative poems and plays. Enthusiasts and fans, including the British Shakespeare Company, have campaigned for Parliament in the United Kingdom to officially recognize national Shakespeare Day.
Public Life
Shakespeare’s Birthday is an observance and not a bank holiday in the United Kingdom.
Background
No one really knows the exact date of William Shakespeare’s birth, although he was baptized on April 26, 1564, and died on April 23, 1616. Some believe he was born on April 23, although birth dates were generally not recorded in his time. In his younger years Shakespeare attended the Christian Holy Trinity church, the now famous limestone cross-shaped cathedral on the banks of the Avon River in the United Kingdom.
At the age of 18 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. It is believed that he retired in Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare’s private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
This Bard of Avon has been referred to as a “literary genius” and “Britain’s greatest playwright and poet”. His work includes comedies, such as The Taming of the Shrew and a Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as tragedies such as King Lear, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Much of his work has been seen in modern-day theatre, the ballet and in modern films. His plays have been translated in many different languages across the world.
Shakespeare’s increasing popularity in modern times is reflected by National Shakespeare Day, which started as an idea from Robert J Williamson, the Artistic Director of the British Shakespeare Company. National Shakespeare Day is supported by many people in the United Kingdom, including government ministers.
Symbols
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 but was later destroyed by fire. A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site in 1614 and closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction of the theatre, “Shakespeare’s Globe”, is currently located in London. It consists of: The Globe Theatre, with a professional theatre company incorporating international artists playing a summer season of plays; Globe Education, which works with students of all ages; and Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition, devoted to Shakespeare and his contemporaries in performance.
Other symbols identified with Shakespeare include: an image of the poet on a postage stamp or on a portrait; and symbols from his plays, such as a rose (Romeo and Juliet), a human skull (Hamlet), and blood, ghosts and witches (Macbeth).
