27th March

Do you know that today is 

the World Theatre Day?

World Theatre Day was created in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI). It is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres and the international theatre community. 

Each year, a message is written by a theatre luminary. 

Past messages have been given by people like Laurence Oliver, John Malkovich, Pablo Neruda, Richard Burton, and Judi Dench. (World Theatre Day Message Authors: 1962 - 2013)

The author of the Message of World Theatre Day 2014 is the South African playwright, designer, director and installation maker Brett Bailey. (http://writerswrite.co.za/world-theatre-day-27-march)
