Stratford-upon-Avon Events in April, 2025

Rotary Shakespeare Marathon - More than just a marathon! Whether you are a new marathoner or an experienced runner looking to set a personal best, the Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon offer runners not only a fantastic course, but also first-class running and excellent organization. It is a chance to experience the world-famous Stratford-upon-Avon and run between some of the most historic buildings in the country and through miles of beautiful Warwickshire countryside. The course is mainly flat and fast, starting in the center of the town, opposite Shakespeare's old school, and along the way you will see attractions such as the River Avon, Holy Trinity Church (home to William Shakespeare's grave) and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. You will run through quintessentially English villages, where chocolate box thatched roof cottages, humpback bridges and beautiful dry stone walls are a delight to the eye. The Shakespeare Marathon has been awarded the BARR Gold standard, reflecting the high standards achieved in all aspects of the event organization. As the event is partly funded by sponsors and is organized and run entirely by volunteers, the cost of administration and facilities is absolutely minimal. Over half of the money raised went to local charities including Shakespeare Hospice (founded by the Rotary Club), Stratford Samaritans, Lifespace Trust and ESH Works. There are also plenty of family friendly activities after the race (see our page on Stratford-upon-Avon), so we recommend a 'post-race retreat'. We look forward to seeing you, and we promise this will be more than just a marathon.

Museums

苏河家园

&zwnj;Shakespeare&#39;s hometown is located in the small town of Stratford, England. A bronze statue of Shakespeare stands in the town square, surrounded by sculptures of drama characters, and places named after Shakespeare can be seen everywhere. We visited the former residence museum in the town to experience the literary charm of the Renaissance.&zwnj;&zwnj;

Anne Hathaway's Cottage

JOY7799

About 1.5 kilometers away from Shakespeare&#39;s former residence, you can see this typical British farmhouse, which is the former residence of Shakespeare&#39;s wife Anne Hathaway before her marriage. It has been preserved as much as possible, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the past and slowly experienced it.

沙漠里的赤裸裸

#Royal Shakespeare&#39;s Tit for Tat#
Another Shakespeare play has been unlocked. The version at the end of 2019 can be said to be hot out of the oven. What is amazing is that after four hundred years, human nature is still the same as he portrayed. Power, sexual blackmail, Metoo. The monologue of Regent Angelo instantly reminds people of Frollo, who is &quot;a priest in love with a beauty&quot;. Isabella was able to escape unscathed, but she was lucky to meet the Duke who was willing to help, that is, a stronger power. Facts have also proved that the purpose of power is never simple, and it is easy to change the clouds with a flip of the hand. (I thought the Duke was just a melon-eating uncle!

The conspiracy scene is fun to watch, but this so-called happy ending with broken glass is... It doesn&#39;t mean that every couple can be called a happy ending, but it can only be said that reality is also realistic. The scene where Isabella pleads for Marianna... Although it is saintly, it is also very realistic.

Digression 1, the girl who plays the pregnant woman is also sitting in a wheelchair when she bows, so did they really invite a disabled actor? That would be great.

Digression 2, the director of the 1950 version is Peter Brook, and the appearance of the heroine Barbara Jefford is much more convincing than this version.
