Online play guides open up the work of the RSC and help audiences understand more about the background to a play and the process of interpreting it on stage. Specific information for teachers and students has been designed to support learning in the classroom and beyond.
The online play guides are resource packs to accompany each play in the season. They are designed to open up the work of the RSC and to help audiences understand more about the process of interpreting Shakespeare and staging plays.
The guides have sections particularly aimed at teachers and students, but we hope they will prove useful and accessible to all theatre-goers and to those who want to know more about RSC productions.
Guides currently available in the series are:
'As You Like It' 'The Taming of the Shrew and The Tamer Tamed' 'Measure For Measure' 'Richard III' 'Cymbeline' 'Titus Andronicus' 'All's Well That Ends Well' 'Othello' 'Macbeth' 'Romeo and Juliet' 'King Lear' 'Hamlet' 'Julius Caesar' 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona'
