Login or RegisterShakespeare Week is a national annual celebration giving primary school aged children opportunities for enriching and enjoyable early experiences of Shakespeare. It is one of the pathways to Shakespeare provided by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for people of all ages and stages of interest.
'Shakespeare Week has become one of my favourite times of the year. To witness the excitement and enthusiasm the wonderful team at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust sprinkle like fairy dust amongst the children is a joy to behold. If William Shakespeare is a National Treasure then Shakespeare Week is the perfect way to share his wisdom and wonder with a new generation.'
Marcia Williams - author, illustrator and Shakespeare Week Patron
'I have been very fortunate in having had the chance to work for many years with Shakespeare Week at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. I have seen at close quarters the commitment, scholarship and creativity that they bring to taking Shakespeare to children and young people. They know only too well, that it's not enough to simply say, 'Shakespeare is amazing' or some such. They show through their work that Shakespeare comes alive best when you get down to the the images and the passions expressed through the words. Shakespeare Week deserves every support it can get.'
Michael Rosen - author, poet and long-time Shakespeare Week supporter
