A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR

We are incredibly proud of our Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank programme. Since 2007, this transformative education partnership in collaboration with Shakespeare’s Globe has provided over 280,000 students with free or subsidised tickets to see one of Shakespeare’s plays as it was intended to be experienced.

The programme sits at the heart of our global Corporate Social Responsibility education strategy, which is dedicated to helping young people to develop skills and improve access to education and employment opportunities. With every production, our partnership aims to deepen student’s understanding of a core Shakespeare text, through contemporary productions exploring key themes and language. Broadening horizons and increasing access is something that resonates with us at Deutsche Bank.

With direct access to the Arts a rare opportunity for many students across the UK, we are proud our programme continues to offer opportunities and remove barriers, enabling thousands of young people each year an experience that they otherwise may not have. Alongside schools receiving free tickets to contemporary productions, teachers attend workshops to invigorate how Shakespeare is taught in the classroom, and an exciting online platform provides interactive learning resources for students, families and teachers.

On behalf of Deutsche Bank, we hope you enjoy your involvement in the programme.
