Commissioned by the RSC to commemorate David Garrick's Shakespearean festival of 1769—the first celebration of the great man's life and works—Jubilee is a mischievous satire on the foundation of the Shakespeare industry.

In 1769, when David Garrick staged the first theatre festival to celebrate the life of Stratford's most famous son, little did he realize the impact it would have on the future of the small Warwickshire market town. Peter Barnes' ironic and irreverent new comedy dissects the cult of the theatrical personality, with guest appearances from the Bard himself, Ben Jonson, David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, Sir Peter Hall, and Peter Barnes.

"One of the most original and biting comic writers working in Britain."—The Times
