 Patron for 2011
The Shakespeare Festival 2011 from 7 to 18 September provides the opportunity for people of all ages to experience the richness of great classics in a relaxed atmosphere and to experience the friendly atmosphere of both Bulimba and Sandgate.

There's something for everyone - plays, film, music and food. Some of Brisbane's best actors and musicians are involved. They get to share their passion for the works of Shakespeare over the two weekends.

Congratulations to 4MBS ClassicFM, the Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiative Fund and all the other organisations, individuals and businesses involved with staging this year's Festival.
