There is a Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa? Or, “What is Shakespeare Schools Festival?” is the question my American readers may be asking. At length, the new year brought us to a new country. Hence, January found us in Cape Town. Cape Town feels like the edge of the world. Obviously, the Antarctic lies off in the distance. However, as you’re standing on shore, looking out at the distance, there’s a feeling of vast potential in the unknown. Global Hamlet with Vista Nova Drama Club and Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa felt similarly. In essence, Shakespeare says it best:

“Only I have left to say,
More is thy due than more than all can pay.”
– Macbeth
