Shakespeare Centre London

Description

The Shakespeare Centre London develops a 25-year relationship between King's College London and Shakespeare's Globe, building on two decades of collaboration between the Globe's Research and Higher Education teams and the Department of English at King's, including a joint MA in Shakespeare Studies. It is an academic institute and a public-facing centre that promotes the study of Shakespeare, early modern textual and performance culture, and contemporary reimaginings of everything Shakespearean and early modern. It aims to be a beacon for the inclusive study of Shakespeare, text, performance, theatre history and premodern critical race studies. Its long-running Shakespeare Academy brings hundreds of school students into contact with Shakespeare's work each year.
