What we do:
The State of Shakespeare is a virtual masterclass featuring in-depth interviews with contemporary Shakespearean actors, directors and teachers. We focus on the complex relationship of words and performance, and how individual artists develop unique and often contrasting approaches to the text. The State of Shakespeare’s mission is to help inspire and educate theatre makers, students and educators to discover new ways of bringing Shakespeare to life.
