In 2006 the Royal Shakespeare Company began its mission to transform the teaching of Shakespeare in schools. This has been a unique initiative from a major cultural organisation for several reasons: - Education has been placed at the heart and not at the periphery of the RSC's vision. Producing versions of Shakespeare's plays for young audiences has, for example, become an annual feature of the Company's programming.- The project's longevity - it has already been in existence for six years and has funding to continue for at least another four years; - The nature of the learning network it has established, involving schools from all over the UK and a partnership in the US; - The partnership with a higher education institution (the University of Warwick) which has steered teachers through their own research projects, resulting in a 90%+ completion rate among the teachers involved;- The amount of independent research that has established the extent and nature of the impact of this work in both quantitative and qualitative terms.The book tells the story of this transformative project - to describe and to theorise the innovative classroom practice that the RSC has pioneered and to explain what the research tells us about the impact this practice has had on children's experience of Shakespeare in both primary and secondary schools. It describes all of this in authoritative but accessible language, and is relevant to anyone with an interest in the teaching of Shakespeare and / or in how a major cultural organisation can use its expertise to impact significantly on the education of young people from a wide range of social backgrounds. As well as drawing upon the research already conducted, the book benefits from the writer's knowledge and expertise of the teaching of drama. It also benefits from interviews from internationally influential figures, notably Michael Boyd and Jonathan Bate.
