Today is the start of the World Shakespeare Festival. Find out more here:
http://www.worldshakespearefestival.org.uk/about/
At the Globe in London you can hear Richard III in Mandarin, Romeo and Juliet in Brazilian Portugese or the Taming of the Shrew in Urdu - all 37 plays in 37 different languages. OK, I suppose, if you know the language or the play, but hard work otherwise. Still, it is an ambitious project.
This URL offers on-line participation for those who can't make any of the many performances.

From my blog a few years ago (with appropriate amendments to reflect a change in administration):
This day doth mark the birth of that sweet scribe, Will Shakespeare, who oft our leisure hath enlivened, with comedy, tragedie, e'en history hath been made a pleasure by his pen. Therefore hath our good Lord Mayor, Rahm, proclaimed this day Talk like Shakespeare Day. So shall we add "eth" to verbs, and say "t'was" and "t'will", "thou" and "thee", setting aside the common parlance of "dese", "dem" "dose", and change Sout' Side Chicaga-ese for Elizabethan English. Haveth thee some cake!
