Join us for a two-day festival celebrating the winners of our second Muse of Fire Playwriting contest!Playwrights of the global majority from all around the world submitted full-length plays that reimagine Shakespeare’s themes and plots with this year’s festival theme: “Let Me Be That I Am, And Seek Not to Alter Me”
The top three winning plays will be brought to life through staged readings, performed by Atlanta Creatives, at the Tavern. The 2023 second place winning play, The Venetians, will be on the Main Stage August 23-September 7.
