This play was created as part of the Associate Schools Programme, which is a partnership between schools and the RSC. The above edition was published to coincide with the Playmaking Festival at the RSC in July 2023. It was also written in honour of the 400th anniversary of the First Folio. After Shakespeare's death, some of his friends and colleagues, mainly John Heminges and Henry Condell, brought the plays together and published them as an act of friendship, so that the works would not be lost.
The Wood of Words was first presented as part of the RSC's National and Stratford Playmaking Festivals at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 and 14 July 2023.
