To celebrate the 25th edition of the Stafford Festival Shakespeare, We are encouraging locals to share their Shakespeare selfies. To mark the anniversary, We will be giving away six pairs of tickets for the best selfie with a Shakespearian vibe. Stafford Festival Shakespeare will run from June 25 to July 11, 2015. This year's performance, Much Ado About Nothing will be staged at the historic Stafford Castle.
The Shakespeare selfies can show anything from a quiet night in with your favourite Bard play, to a girly evening of food, wine and hours spent swooning over Leonardo DiCaprio in the film Romeo and Juliet. Selfies from previous years at the festival are also welcome, however unusual or comical they may be.
You can share your Shakespeare selfies on our Twitter page, @Staff_Gatehouse, or our Facebook page using #Shakespeare25. All selfies posted by June 19 stand a chance to win a pair of tickets to one of the UK's leading open air theatrical productions. The winners will be announced on June 22 on the our Twitter page and blog and will be asked to contact us to claim the prize.
"Almost everyone can relate to Shakespeare's plays in some way, even today, almost four centuries after they’ve been written. This year, we want to bring Shakespeare into the world of social media and digital by encouraging people to share their Shakespearean selfies," explains Emma Hogan, press and marketing officer of Stafford Gatehouse Theatre. "The Bard’s plays are not just meant for in-depth analysis or exams, they can be enjoyed anywhere and by anyone, especially nowadays, when thanks to social media, the whole world truly is a stage.”
Stafford Festival Shakespeare has proven its popularity over the years with audiences of all ages. Pre-performance dining and picnics can be booked in advance and a selection of real ale, gin, wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be available on the premises."
