Shakespeare Schools Festival

Coram Shakespeare Schools is proud to present the world’s largest youth drama festival at South Hill Park.

Join us for a thrilling evening of Shakespeare as you’ve never seen before and support young people from your area.

“If Shakespeare had been sitting in the audience, he would have loved everything he saw.” – Ben Willbond, actor and screenwriter (Ghosts, Horrible Histories, The Thick of It)

Witness Shakespeare’s timeless stories reimagined by the next generation, as local schools take to the stage to perform a series of abridged plays for their community in an unforgettable night of theatre.

Coram Shakespeare Schools is a national cultural education charity, dedicated to transforming young lives through the unique power of Shakespeare.

Our Theatre Festival will give students from more than 350 schools a platform to further develop oracy and teamworking skills, grow in confidence and to express themselves on a professional theatre stage.
