Methinks the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival would perform exceeding well for sponsors ...The Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, established in 1988, delivers outstanding performances of Shakespeare plays throughout July and August each year.
The productions, in full Elizabethan costume, are staged open-air in the beautiful gardens of the Colleges of Cambridge University (including King's, St John's and Trinity).
The Company consists of professional actors from all over the UK who come together annually for the Festival. In 2009 the CSF was listed fourth in The Independent on Sunday's list of the "Top 50 UK Arts Festivals".
Idyllic
The CSF aims to deliver creative partnerships that allow companies the opportunity to be associated with one of the UK's leading theatre companies, to entertain clients and staff at internationally renowned productions and to gain media opportunities with extensive coverage throughout Cambridgeshire and the UK. The Company also has an extensive educational and charitable programme and in 2010 the amount raised for our nominated charities topped £45,000.
"An evening at the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival is a unique experience. Prior to the performance, members of the audience can picnic in this idyllic setting, before sitting back to enjoy an evening of dynamic and highly visual theatre.
"The Festival prides itself on an artistic policy which strips away unnecessary theatrical artifice and gimmickry, and the Company exists to provide access for all to these marvellous works without assuming any prior knowledge of the author or the play in question".
