If April 23 holds a special place in your literature lovin' heart, you're probably already prepared to celebrate Shakespeare Day. Thanks to Brit Prime Minister David Cameron, who launched 'Shakespeare Lives' in January, you can expect a worldwide year-long programme to celebrate The Bard's works.
In Singapore, the British High Commission and British Council have put together a bunch of events happening over the next few months. Even if you've never read the playwright's works, these activities are easy to digest — all you gotta do is check them out with an open mind.
Notable ones include the 'Letters to Shakespeare' exhibition at various libraries, a 'Shaking it with Shakespeare' exhibition at the Singapore Philatelic Museum, Shakespeare in the Park — Romeo & Juliet, and The European Union Film Festival.
