MANIFESTO: READ ONLINE
Some 400 years after they were written, Shakespeare's plays are read and studied with undiminished interest all over the world, with every culture bringing its own distinctive perspective to his work.
Shakespeare can still speak to young people, inspiring them to articulate their feelings and develop their ideas and gain new insights into the world around them. It's no surprise that he remains the only writer studied by all young people in England and Wales.
We want to ensure that young people feel Shakespeare belongs to them and that they have the opportunity to explore his work in the most enriching way possible.
