We are back with Midsummer Night's Dream and An Evening of Three Kings! After last year's success, we once again invite you to the historic gardens in Wilanów for another season of magical evenings with Shakespeare's plays.
The Evening of the Three Kings
A comedy of love, dress-up and misunderstandings, set in mystical Illyria. The story of siblings, Viola and Sebastian, separated by a sea disaster. Viola loses contact with her twin brother Sebastian. To find him, she decides to enter the court of Duke Orsin in a male disguise. There she finds herself in a whirlwind of secret meetings, amusing mix-ups and amorous intrigues that will lead to a happy wedding for some and drive others mad.

The historic gardens of Wilanów and the Baroque palace, sunsets and moonrises, a feast of stage lights illuminating the gardens at night, nature and the classic works of the master of the genre - William Shakespeare. Add to this a picnic atmosphere: blankets and deckchairs, drinks and snacks brought by the audience, and it's a casual encounter with art - in other words, theatre for everyone! Behind it all is the Canadian director and originator of our venture, John Weisgerber. It is thanks to him that this international phenomenon (known for years in New York, Prague, Toronto and London, among others) has lived to see its tradition in Warsaw.
We are proud that our "Shakespeare in the Park" has already become a permanent feature in the summer calendar of cultural events in the capital. The performances in previous years were seen by thousands of Varsovians and tourists who visited the city in the summer.Thanks to the official patronage of the City of Warsaw, we will also be with you this summer!
