Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank returns for its 19th year in 2025 with a production of Macbeth in the Globe Theatre.
This gripping 90-minute tragedy is created especially for young people and designed to support the curriculum.
Running from 6 March – 2 April, the project will once again offer over 26,000 free tickets for pupils aged 11-16 at London and Birmingham state schools, with further subsidised tickets for schools nationwide, and a range of accessible performances including Integrated BSL.
Elsewhere, the Globe is also hosting two interactive workshops for young people and their families. The Hansel and Gretel: Drama and Music Workshop for 5-8-year-olds will explore the story, characters, and music of The Brothers Grimm fairytale through fun activities led by a Globe practitioner. Children aged 9-12 can enjoy the Hansel and Gretel: Spoken Word and Drama Workshop, using creative writing and performance. Workshops take place from 7 December – 5 January.
For young people studying plays, GCSE Boosts on curriculum texts include Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, and Much Ado About Nothing. Workshops take place from November – April.
