Summary:

"Provides an overview of theatre-based teaching of Shakespeare and an exploration of the educational principles underpinning the practice. Exploring how and why theatre-based practice in the classroom opens up the possibilities of Shakespeare study, it investigates how different understandings emerge from our shifting experiences of language and culture. Drawing on the authors' range of scholarly experience and practical work, this book empowers Shakespeare educators in supporting young people to interact critically, creatively and collaboratively with the cultural inheritance of Shakespeare's texts"-- Provided by publisher.
