welcome to the shakespeare schools festival


The Shakespeare Schools Festival is a unique arts-education initiative which enables young people to perform abridged productions of Shakespeare’s most famous plays in their local professional theatre.

We run a UK-wide Schools Festival and a Youth Festival which are open to all secondary schools and youth theatre groups within the UK. We also run an International Festival, for 11-21 year olds worldwide.


The last Schools Festival took place in February 2007 and featured 1100 schools performing in 100 theatres across the UK. The next Schools Festival will take place in October 2008.

Our new Youth Festival launched in early 2007 with shows to be staged in 2008. It offers young people the chance to produce, direct and stage their own 45 minute abridged Shakespeare play.
