The Living Willow Theatre will host events from April to September- from syllabus Shakespeare for schools through community productions and professional tours.
The library: The Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust and the Laura Ashley Foundation have given kick-start funding to buy books, scripts, prints and DVD’s for a library specifically related to the works of Shakespeare and the magical history of Wales. This resource will be available for education, reference and research to the local community and beyond.
