We have three new courses available in October and November, using the approaches we've developed with schools over more than a decade to empower young people to bring complex language to life. They enable students to work on Shakespeare's plays in the same way that our actors do in a rehearsal room: making language truly meaningful through investigation and performance.

Whichever you choose, we aim to provide you with practical, engaging and inspiring techniques for teaching Shakespeare to students of all ages and abilities.
