Schools coming to see a performance will also receive free one-hour workshops for students and can be delivered online or in the school classroom. Students will explore the characters and language of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and be introduced to the play through interactive drama techniques. These fun and engaging sessions prepare students for the production so that they are confident and excited when they come to the show. Free online resources are also provided via the Globe website.

Resources cover Key Stages 3-5 and are tightly linked to the National Curriculum and Assessment Objective and includes thought-provoking questions to support teachers and students in analysing language, character, themes and context.
