Shakespeare’s Daughter, from classics…
Premiered at the Bilbao International Puppet Festival, Shakespeare's Daughter continues her journey in search of her father through two of the most important Classical Theatre Festivals in Spain, Clásicos en Alcalá and the Almagro Festival.
We will meet Judith, Shakespeare's daughter, who travels to our times to talk to us about her father, his era and tell us about “A Midsummer Night's Dream.”
This elegant lady will reveal to us the sources of inspiration for her father and his story with the help of some friends, who will help her unravel the tangled mess of this soap opera.
With the romanticism of Titania, the magic of Oberon and the mischievous little elf Puck, the audience will discover a classic of universal literature. An entertaining and different way for our children to come into contact with the stories of the greatest English-speaking playwright. It is also a bilingual show: Spanish, English or French, but always with a touch of humour.
The 12th Alcalá Classical Theatre Festival is hosting 3 performances of this show. You can enjoy them on June 29th, 30th at 7:00 p.m., and July 1st at 12:30 p.m. at the Teatro Universitario La
Galera, in Alcalá de Henares, for family audiences, from 7 years old. More information at www.clasicosenalcala.net
During the 35th edition of the Almagro Festival, La Hija de Shakespeare is taking part in the 1st International Children's Baroque Competition. This competition was created to promote stage creation in all its artistic forms and to deliver its freshest version to a demanding family audience. The aim is to bring children closer to Baroque Theatre in a fun, intelligent and educational way. You can meet our Judith on July 15th at 8:00 p.m. at the Almagro Municipal Theatre.

With this latest production, the company continues to fulfil its objective: Music, Art and Puppets: to bring together in a show the enjoyment and understanding of good Music, the love of Classical Culture, through its myths, the cultivation of Sensitivity for the Works of Art of great painters and sculptors... and the staging with puppet theatre, which has its own theatrical language, full of licence and symbolism, while being, at the same time, light-hearted and comical.
2011 was a year of hard work and recognition, which she continued to reap in 2012. The Award for Best Puppeteer Actress in the category of Theatre for Children and Youth at the Golden Dolphin Festival in Varna, BULGARIA, went to Marta Bautista, for the work “El Niño que Soñaba”, a puppet theatre show with live music, as well as recognition for her 30 years of professional career with the Galicreques Award 2011, a Festival in which she also participated with her show NANA LUNA, also with live music.
