'Unquestionably, the most significant festival of its kind in the world, dedicated to the English Bard, in a non-Anglophone country.’
These are the words of Michel Vais, in the Canadian magazine Le Jeu, following the very first International Shakespeare Festival Craiova in Romania, 30 years ago. Behind the festival's huge success was Emil Boroghină, a Romanian actor and director, who, together with our support, brought the festival from dreams to reality.
In celebration of our 90th anniversary, hear Emil Boroghină explain how the project came about and what it means for cultural connections across borders.
