April 23, 2016, marked the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and the Shakespeare enthusiasts planned a full year of Shakespeare events. The Folger Shakespeare Library in D.C. had a special exhibit of Shakespeare Folios and other memorabilia on display. The BBC announced a year beforehand that they’d be presenting a live Shakespeare Celebration from Stratford-upon-Avon with David Tennant (star of Dr. Who) on April 23, 2016. And annual Shakespeare Festivals went all out that year.
