Should Shakespeare Be Studied In Schools
The Royal Shakespeare Company recently announced that over £100 million has been gathered to transform the Royal Shakespeare Theatre into the best theatre in the world for Shakespeare.
This, remarked Lady Susie Sainsbury, chair of the international campaign along with Dame Judi Dench, is a truly historic project.
Meanwhile, KS3 students in Warwickshire, another part of Shakespeare’s county, have been questioning why Shakespeare is part of the National Curriculum; questioning why Shakespeare is still receiving such support and celebration, 391 years after his death; questioning whether he should still be studied at all.
