Cambridge School Shakespeare
We're proud to be working in a collaborative partnership with Cambridge University Press, who publish over 200 Shakespeare titles including the best-selling and highly recommended Cambridge School Shakespeare Series.
This series was initially developed from the work of Dr Rex Gibson’s Shakespeare and Schools Project, and each play in the recently published new editions has been carefully rewritten, revised and expanded to enable students to inhabit Shakespeare's imaginative world in accessible and creative ways.
This partnership enables us to work collaboratively with Cambridge University Press and produce exclusive content including blogs, articles and webinars that highlight the enduring significance of Shakespeare’s work, making it accessible and relevant to a new generation of students.
