Based on Michael Morpurgo's new book Tales from Shakespeare, these special events for schools introduce students to some of Shakespeare's best-loved plays including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. The stories are told by both Michael himself and members of our acting company and can be accessed here. 

The plays are each available for three months, please note the dates next to each title.

Thanks to everyone who sent in questions for Michael Morpurgo, after watching Tales from Shakespeare. You can watch Michael answering some of them in the clips below.
