'What a welcome the Shakespeare 'toolkit for teachers' will be for students who are sick of poring over the texts, trying to decode the language.'

'300 pages of detailed, imaginative teaching ideas...'

'...combines accessible practical ways of playing with Shakespeare's text with the intellectual rigour and active approaches which are part of the RSC's rehearsal process.'

'Basically the book is a complete resource for an active approach to teaching Shakespeare in the classroom...It certainly has the potential to do what it says on the tin'

'The book itself is a lesson in simplicity: clear chapters, with excellent sign-posting and lesson plans, should inspire teachers to dip in and out...developed by experts for teachers...a must for your classroom.'

‘It really does put plenty of ‘tools’ in your ‘kit’ and gives you lots (and lots) of routes right into the play you are working on... Everything, including dozens of worksheets, can be legally photocopied for distribution to the class. Probably more convenient for most teachers is the CD-ROM which provides all the teacher notes, resource sheets and worksheets as printable PDFs along with extra image and text resources for some lessons.’
