Bring Shakespeare to your school

Be part of Shakespeare Schools Theatre Festival

Each year thousands of young people from hundreds of Primary, Secondary and SEND schools across the country unite in the world’s largest youth drama festival. Months of preparation culminate in exhilarating performance evenings; young people performing Shakespeare in professional theatres, raising aspirations and unlocking the potential of students and teachers alike.

If you took part in one of our 2021 programmes, log in to your ‘Backstage’ account to renew your participation for 2022/23. If you are a new or returning school, you are in the right place!
