One of Austria's most popular reading festivals will once again feature many literary stars and a colorful program around Vienna's Burgtheater on 10 and 11 May. 

Under the motto "Literature is oxygen for the brain", the popular reading marathon "Around the Castle" will take place again this year. A colorful program of prose, poetry, music and stories will be offered on 10 and 11 May.

What's new this time is that the readings and discussions will take place at various locations around and in the Burgtheater for the first time: in the Vestibül of the theater, in the Vestibül restaurant and in the Meierei in the Volksgarten.
