‘I really enjoyed it’: new RSC curriculum brings Shakespeare’s works to life in UK classrooms

The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has introduced a new curriculum aimed at revitalizing the study of Shakespeare's works in UK classrooms, starting with Macbeth. This initiative was implemented in a secondary school in Peterborough, where Year 10 English students participated in a workshop designed to engage them through rehearsal-based teaching methods. The positive feedback from students, including comments like 'I really enjoyed it,' suggests that the curriculum may effectively enhance students' appreciation and understanding of Shakespeare's plays, addressing the often rigid nature of traditional teaching methods.
