Playing shakespeare WITH DEUTSCHE BANK Globe Education’s acclaimed Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank productions are full-scale performances created especially for young people, performed in Shakespeare’s Globe. Each production is designed to support the teaching of English in the UK National Curriculum and leaves students and adults alike buzzing with the thrill of live theatre. The project offers so much more than an ordinary theatre trip. Students and staff are fully prepared for the experience of a performance by a process which begins with heavily subsidised department wide training on teaching the play; introductory workshops for students familiarise them with characters and key themes, and online resources provide insight into the planning and rehearsal process. In addition, all show attendees can take home a programme packed with critical essays and insightful articles guaranteed to extend discussions about the play on their return to school.
