There is always something going on here in the Education Department at the Shakespeare Centre. We have had a busy and varied 2007 and are looking forward to the third year of the The Great Shakespare Debate. in early 2008. This is a competition open to all AS/A2 level schools, please click on the link for more details of the grand final which makes an excellent spectator sport.

Shakespeare is always in the news, it seems that we still love to debate the issues which Shakespeare invites us to consider - but what do you think? To find out what we think about some current issues please click on the link to Opinion on...  where you can send us your opinions too. These are our informal ramblings and should not be taken as the definitive answer to any of these questions, nor do they necessarily reflect an offical line taken by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

We are always being asked to recommend good books on Shakespeare, so we have all suggested a few books that we have enjoyed. From the serious to the silly please click on the link to Books to Read, for our recommendations.
