Gdansk Shakespeare Festival is the largest, cyclical, international theatre event, organised each year in the first week of August in Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia (called TriCity). It is an international event combining performances’ presentations with artistic events, workshops, meetings with theatre creators. Its history begins in 1993, with the first Gdańsk Shakespeare Days, which later evolved into an international festival. The Gdansk Shakespeare Festival is a place to experience theatre, a platform to for meetings and intellectual exchanges between artists, directors, actors, critics and animators from around the globe.
