Annotation:
	Explores Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Shakespeare400 celebrations in Egypt and asserts that other cultural institutions can use Bibliotheca Alexandrina as model for how to produce successful commemorative events. Investigates why, despite its successes in commemorating Shakespeare, Bibliotheca Alexandrina omitted Antony and Cleopatra when play is situated in same geographical locale. English summary, online.
