During 2016, the RSC ran a huge range of school events to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, offering a host of resources, workshops, talks and broadcasts to make Shakespeare “vivid, accessible and enjoyable” for pupils and their teachers.
This work will continue in 2017, with the RSC determined to make the most of the on-going relationships it has built with schools. The company already works with around 1,800 secondary and primary schools every year, prioritising schools in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.
The RSC’s new initiatives include a series of 13 short films aimed at key stage 3 and 4 students. Called The Text Detectives, the series aims to “demystify” Shakespeare’s texts for secondary pupils and will be launched early next year.
