400 years after his death, the life and work of William Shakespeare is being celebrated all across the UK.

Here in the Midlands – the region synonymous with the Bard – we’re commemorating Our Shakespeare with dance from Birmingham Royal Ballet, theatre at The Rep, music from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and more.

We’ve just launched a handy website which lists all of the Our Shakespeare events in one place: ourshakespeare.co.uk
