Shakespeare in Styria

Shakespeare in Styria was an annual Shakespeare festival in the Upper Styrian town of Murau in Austria. The festival was founded in 2002 by British-born theatre manager Nicholas Allen and Austrian writer Rudolph J. Wojta.

Since September 2015, the festival (re-branded as "Shakespeare im Park") is being managed by Paul Elsbacher (Executive Director) und Eric Lomas (Artistic Director). The 2016 summer show was an acclaimed production of The Comedy of Errors, performed at St. Lambrecht Abbey, followed by a series of performances in the gardens of Palais Pötzleinsdorf in Vienna. No further performances are planned for Murau.
