Shakespeare International
"The Shakespeare Schools Festival is such an exceptional vehicle for cross-cultural pollination and understanding"
- Bruce Taylor, Cultural Attaché USA to Turkey
Shakespeare International is SSF’s global arm, encouraging and supporting performances of abridged Shakespeare across the world and supporting independent programs launched in Australia and South Africa.
This year, SSF is piloting an exciting opportunity for international groups to perform in the UK Festival.
We believe that intercultural exchange will enhance the collective experience of the festival and that we can provide you with an invaluable professional and cultural experience. We are confident that the opportunity for schools from different backgrounds and cultures to meet in a professional setting for a celebratory night of theatre will have a profound educational impact.
