The most enjoyable way to understand a Shakespeare play is to see it or participate in it.

Ideal for students, theatre-goers, actors and general readers, the RSC Shakespeare plays offer an accessible and contemporary approach to reading and rediscovering Shakespeare''s works for the twenty-first century.
