In 1949, Dorian Williams founded the Pendley Shakespeare Festival amid the Victorian finery of his magnificent ancestral home. Sixty-five years later, it remains our privilege to bring Shakespeare to new audiences in the beautiful grounds of the Pendley Manor Hotel. Why not escape the troubles of the day and embrace the Great British elements with an evening of Open Air Shakespeare?

David Bottomley is curating a project to collect memoirs of people who knew and worked with his late mother, Margaret Harrison, a Yorkshire woman who won the national competition to design costumes for the 1964 Pendley Open Air Shakespeare Festival of Twelfth Night.
He would be interested to hear from anyone who was involved in the Pendley Shakespeare Festival production of Twelfth Night in 1964, for which she designed and made the costumes, directed by Dorian Williams and organised by John Holifield. (more...)
