Our workshops encapsulate the spirit at the core of all our work – that plays should be explored actively. They can be based on any Shakespeare play and are delivered at the Globe, in your school or online.
Key activities
- Practical, interactive workshop based on your chosen learning objective(s)
- A range of activities and games designed to draw out elements of the plays’ characters and themes
- Language-based activities that explore the text at word level
- Explore a range of interpretations to encourage an informed personal response
- We can substitute the workshop for a lecture on your play choice or original performance conditions. Please get in touch to discuss this option.
- For on-site visits, a guided tour of the Globe Theatre; for online or in-school visits, a virtual tour of the Globe Theatre.
Available texts
Workshops can be run on any Shakespeare play.
For KS5, workshops can be designed to thematically link 2 – 3 plays.
Curriculum links
At key stages 3 and 4, workshops support students to;
- Read challenging texts with good understanding
- Acquire a wide vocabulary and develop confidence in the art of speaking and listening
- Develop a greater appreciation of our rich and varied literary heritage
- Use discussion in order to learn: be able to elaborate and explain their understanding and ideas

They also support progress towards the Assessment Objectives for GCSE English Literature;
- Read, understand and respond to texts, and develop an informed personal response (AO1)
- Familiarise themselves with textual references through script-work (AO1)
- Analyse language and structure, but particularly form (AO2)
