2012 Festival
SSF is the largest youth drama festival in the UK.
For the last ten years we have worked with teachers to challenge the preconception that studying Shakespeare is difficult, dry or dull through a combination of teacher training, workshops and student performance in a local professional theatre.
Make your school a Shakespeare School!
