Shakespeare Week
15 March - 21 March

To get you ready for Shakespeare Week, we've created a screening guide with ideas and advice as to how to throw your own unique Shakespeare-themed film screening, and get young people excited about watching and studying Shakespeare. We have advice about creating a jungle in the classroom before watching The Lion King, or how learning different film shots can be turned into a fun game of Bingo during a Gnomeo and Juliet screening.
