Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank is Shakespeare’s Globe’s flagship partnership for secondary schools. 

Each year we stage a dynamic 90-minute production of a key curriculum text on the iconic stage of the Globe Theatre. It’s created especially for young people and designed to help students from KS3 upwards as they build towards their GCSEs.

We offer thousands of free-to-access tickets for pupils aged 11–16 at non-selective state secondary schools in London and Birmingham; and thousands of subsidised tickets for all other schools nationwide. We also offer teacher CPD sessions, student workshops and free learning resources to help teachers and students get the most out of their visit to the Globe.

Each year the project offers free tickets to students aged 11-16 in London and Birmingham state schools, and subsidised tickets to all other schools across the UK. Students come to the Globe Theatre to see a full-scale Shakespeare production, created specifically for young people.

Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank is Shakespeare’s Globe and Deutsche Bank’s flagship partnership for secondary schools and sits at the heart of the bank’s youth engagement strategy, which is committed to helping young people realise their full potential.
