Shakespeare Festival

International theatre festival, one of a kind in Serbia, presents contemporary world productions of William Shakespeare’s plays. It is held annually, in June/July, in the beautiful setting of a castle on the Danube bank in Čortanovci – in Villa Stanković, one of the most picturesque summer residencies in Serbia, modelled after medieval castles in Lombardy. The main idea of the festival is to treasure the work of the world’s preeminent dramatist by presenting attractive theatre programme under the open sky, as it was done in Shakespeare’s times. Besides the main programme, the side programme presents a wide range of multimedia and educational contents. The festival was founded in 2014, on the initiative of Nikita Milivojević, one of the most important Serbian theatre directors, after the premiere of his performance of „Henry VI” in The Globe theatre in London in May 2012.

Venue: Villa Stanković, Čortanovci
