Drawing upon young people’s personal experience of living through lockdown, watch members of the RSC’s Associate School network respond to creative challenges based on William Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ in an online festival, celebrating their work this summer.
Over 100 young people from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC) Associate Schools Programme, supported by Samsung, have been working in partnership with the RSC and local theatres across the UK to share a series of original digital responses to Shakespeare’s plays in lockdown.
In previous summers the, pupils from across country have followed in the footsteps of some of the world’s best-known actors when they performed on stage in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the RSC’s Playmaking Festival for schools.
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the cancellation of all planned Royal Shakespeare Company performances and activity this Spring, the Playmaking Festival, originally spanning eight days between 29 June – 14 July can no longer go ahead as planned.
In response to this unprecedented challenge, the RSC and Samsung have worked together to ensure the Playmaking Festival is able to take place online in 2020, featuring contributions from over 75 schools nationwide.
