Sonnetathon at the British Museum, London
Sat 23rd April 2016 11:00, British Museum
Bringing poetry to the heart of the Great Court, join the Sonnetathon for a continuous live
reading of classic and contemporary sonnets to mark the 400th year of Shakespeare’s death. Set amongst a floral commission from F-Bombe using blossoms and blooms from across the sonnets, Sonnetathon will be staging an interactive afternoon to celebrate the country’s finest
bard in a spectacular setting.
Pin your favourite Shakespearean phrases to our mulberry tree, and explore jars of specimens recreating the potions used in Shakespeare’s works. Children will have their own chance to
recreate Ophelia’s garland, and the café will be serving up Shakespearean treats for our delectation.
There’ll be an interactive sonnet wall that will be tracking the performances throughout the day, and audiences from further afield can keep a track on the unfolding activities from the
day by following the Twitter live stream and watching the live Periscope broadcast.
