a Royal Exchange Theatre and North West Drama Ltd co-production

2010 - 2018

The Children's Shakespeare Festival aims to inspire excitement in Shakespeare’s plays and encourage the use of educational drama as a tool for deep and active learning. It comprises a range of projects which combine cross-curricular classroom activity with performance by children in professional theatre spaces.

Every year the festival introduces hundreds of primary school children, along with their teachers and families, to Shakespeare and drama as a deep, active learning experience. Each festival builds towards a technical rehearsal day, followed by a performance day, where participants share their interpretation of a classic Shakespeare text with family and friends.
