Register now for our free Schools' Broadcasts of Michael Morpurgo's Tales from Shakespeare

Our free Schools' Broadcast series continues in 2021 with five new broadcasts sharing the work of former Children's Laureate and best-selling author Michael Morpurgo.

Based on his new book Tales from Shakespeare, these special free events for schools will introduce students to some of Shakespeare's best-loved plays including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. The stories will be told by both Michael himself and members of the RSC Acting Company.   

Register now and watch along with schools across the country at 11am on Fridays from 8 January 2021

To register simply click on the link below and tell us a little about your school and the number of young people who will be watching. Schools who register for the Friday streamed performances will also have 3 months free access to the stories on demand for use in the classroom. 

Our research tells us that preparing young people to watch the broadcast greatly increases their engagement and enjoyment. 

To support Tales from Shakespeare we are creating a new set of literacy resources to help and inspire students creative writing: to create their own interpretations and adaptations of Shakespeare’s stories and characters.

Resources will be added throughout January.  

In addition you can find lots of ways to explore the original plays at the links below:

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Romeo and Juliet

The Tempest  

Macbeth

The Winter's Tale
