“From Buenos Aires, the city that celebrated Latin America's first Shakespeare festival, we kick off a series of activities, tributes, celebrations and festivals... commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. There will also be an equivalent number of events related to the works of Cervantes... who died on the same day and year as Shakespeare.”

The festival has activities for families, university students, school students, adults, actors, English and non-English speakers.
