Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation (CSSF) is showcasing young people and their reimaginings of Shakespeare in a gala event. Featuring performances from the finalists of its national creative competition, What You Will, the event will be held at London's Criterion Theatre.
Readings of original speeches written by young people from the perspective of one of Shakespeare's characters will be followed by music, dance and readings from special guests, and a comedy narrator representing Shakespeare himself. Alfred Enoch, Ben Willbond, John Heffernan and Eliza Butterworth are among the celebrities taking part in the gala event.
The What You Will competition is also celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's First Folio – the first collected edition of the bard's works which would otherwise have been lost.
