Shakespeare Lives in Film
2016 is the year of William Shakespeare. To commemorate 400 years since the genius bard’s death, the British Council and the New Horizons Association present a programme of British films based on Shakespeare’s plays, to be screened between 14 October and 14 November. The programme, which is a companion event to the Wrocław Theatre Olympics, includes adaptations of both familiar favourites and lesser known plays – from large, star-studded productions to independent films.
