Shakespeare Live! From The RSC is a unique two-hour event marking the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death.

Hosted by David Tennant on Shakespeare’s birthday, and screened live from Stratford-upon-Avon, this star-studded show celebrates Shakespeare’s plays and their enduring influence on music, dance, opera, musical theatre and comedy.

The Royal Shakespeare Company and its Artistic Director Gregory Doran are assembling a once-in-a-lifetime cast, including Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Joseph Fiennes, Meera Syal, Al Murray, Alison Moyet, Noma Dumezweni, Ian Bostridge, English National Opera (ENO), Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Akala (Hip Hop Shakespeare) to perform in a unique tribute to the genius and influence of the world’s greatest playwright and storyteller.
