It’s Shakespeare’s birthday — celebrate (at home) with Cal Shakes

Shakespeare would have turned 456 on April 23, and Cal Shakes is celebrating by posting a wide variety of Bard content on its website.

Shakespeare would have turned 456 Thursday, April 23, and the folks at California Shakespeare Theater would like you to set aside all the sound and fury going on these days and help them celebrate.

All day Thursday, Cal Shakes is packing its website with Bard-related goodies, including selected highlights from London’s Royal Shakespeare Company and Canada’s Stratford Festival; a presentation from company resident dramaturg Philippa Kelly; a “performance like you’ve never seen before” involving the prologue to “Henry V”; photos galore and more.

Cal Shakes, like all Bay Area theater companies, is shuttered due to the coronavirus. The company announced that it has canceled its entire 2020 season, which was slated to run May 27 to Oct. 11 and was to include adaptations of Shakespeare’s “A Comedy of Errors” and “Romeo and Juliet.”

Details: April 23; all content is free; www.calshakes.org.
