Review: Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank – The Tempest

Director of education Lucy Cuthbertson on the return of Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank, this year with a production of Romeo and Juliet created especially for young people: ‘Here at Shakespeare's Globe, our flagship theatre and education project for secondary schools, Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank, returns with a production of Romeo and Juliet in March. We are planning to produce a gripping 90-minute production set in the present day created especially for young people and designed to support the curriculum. Public performances from 19 March until 13 April run alongside the previously announced schools’ project, supported by Deutsche Bank, as part of their global youth engagement programme ‘Born to Be’. There are over 26,000 free tickets for pupils aged 11-16 at London and Birmingham state schools, with subsidised tickets for schools nationwide and a range of accessible performances including Integrated BSL.
