David Garrick staged the Shakespeare Jubilee in Stratford-upon-Avon between 6 and 8 September 1769, celebrating Shakespeare's birth.
The actor and theatre manager David Garrick organised the Shakespeare Jubilee, staged in Stratford-upon-Avon between 6 and 8 September 1769, to celebrate the Jubilee of the birth of William Shakespeare. Garrick was Britain's most famous Shakespearean actor and its most influential theatre owner-manager. The idea arose after the town's leaders approached him seeking funding for a statue of Shakespeare in the Town Hall.
