To this day, Shakespeare is unrivalled in his ability to understand and represent humanity on stage. By holding up a mirror to nature, he shone a light on our glories and flaws, and explored what it means to be human. This powerful show for senior students uses key speeches and scenes from across Shakespeare’s canon to chart representations of individual and collective human experiences.

Shakespeare: The Human Experience connects students’ own experiences with the universality of Shakespeare’s characters, and the wider world around them. Traversing youthful wonder, innocence, and first love, through to guilt, grief, loss, hate, prejudice, persecution, empathy, mercy, courage, and rebellion, we explore the complexities of the human experience through Shakespeare.

Plays featured include The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, As You Like It and Macbeth.
