THE BARD TIMES ARE ROLLING ONCE MORE: Annual Shakespeare Festival takes place this weekend!




Stories Unlimited and StoryFest Events are pleased to announce the third annual Bard on the Virtual Beach, taking place this year at Nowhereville beach in the Five Island’s Estate.  The celebration of the works of William Shakespeare with scenes, sonnets, and other Shakespeare-inspired performances will begin at Noon SLT, Sunday, August 25th and benefits War Child North America.


“It is really an amazing line up this year,” reported festival organizers, “We have a range of material from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and As You Like It, to Titus Andronicus and Hamlet.”  Also featured will be a first for BARD, a performance from A Merchant of Venice performed in Spanish by Yunus Nyn of TALIA, with translation provided for English speakers. “This has primarily been an English-speaking event. Yunus and his group approached us about StoryFest which we were not able to work out, so we are excited to have him be a part of the Shakespeare Event and to see what we present in our festivals grow in this way.”

Bard on the Virtual Beach produces three weekend festivals annually, and in 2012 added The Dickens Project to its offerings.  “We have no idea how many years these events will last, but as long as there are people who want to do them, people who want to attend them, and we can find a place to host them we will keep on producing them.”
