Audiences are in for a theatrical treat as the 15th annual Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa (SSF-SA) returns to the District Six Homecom-ing Centre next month.

Running from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 31 May, patrons can look forward to more than 40 drama groups from Cape Town that will present innovative renditions of Shakespeare's timeless plays.

Festival fans can expect captivating performances by passionate young thespians whose creativity knows no bounds.

This is “Pocket Shakespeare” at its most entertaining as participants present abridged 30 to 45 minute versions of the Bard's iconic works, making the plays even more accessible.

Each year the festival stage transforms into a vibrant platform for self-expression, as talented casts explore their craft through the spoken word, acting, dance, music, song and physical theatre.
