Shakespeare
In July and August the local people of Diever play drama's of William Shakespeare. Diever is also called "Shakespeare-town". The plays are being played in an open-air theater and are famous in the Netherlands. Even in Stratford-upon-Avon it is known that the local people of Diever perform Shakepear's plays. It is an amateur theater group that was formed in 1946 by a local medical doctor, Mr. Derp Broekema. Thus in 2006 it was the 60th anniversary of this annual event with the performance of Henry IV.
