Very cool!
You might like to add the 4MBS Brisbane Shakespeare Festival to the Festival listings in Australia. It has been going for 10 years and presents free professional productions of Shakespeare in parks around Brisbane, Australia in late September – early October. It is run by the classical radio station 4MBS Classic FM. Thanks, Gary Thorpe, General Manager 4MBS Classic FM.
Thank you Gary! Done! Let me know if you want it worded differently.
Best,
Brendan
