Etage), Rüttenscheider Str. 144, 45131 Essen After the impressive lecture on the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta we turn our attention to another cause for celerating. This is the celebration of Shakespeare`s birthday, a tradition that started in Stratford, when – in 1769 – the famous Shakespearean actor David Garrick organised a week of festivities in Shakespeare`s honour. Garrick`s Jubilee set an example to the people of Stratford who then decided to celebrate the birthday of their native son themselves in 1826, and this custom continues until the present day. Crucial to this was the foundation of the Shakespeare club of Stratford-upon-Avon in 1824, now the oldest Shakespeare club in existence, it helped during a period of nearly 200 years develop the celebrations from a local to an international event. This illustrated lecture tells the story of this club and how Straford-upon-Avon has celebrated Shakespeare`s birthday. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Susan Brock is an Honorary Fellow of The Department of English at the University of Warwick and of the Shakespeare institute, University of Birmingham where she was a librarian from 1978 to 1993.
