Shakespeare's plays

All directors of Shakespeare have one thing in common: the text. Productions differ greatly because the play texts are open to interpretation - it's up to each director and their company to make informed interpretative choices.

Use the links on the left to explore a selection of Shakespeare's plays in depth, and find out more about some of our past productions.
