Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank is Shakespeare’s Globe flagship project for secondary schools in London and Birmingham.

Year 6 – Year 13 students can get free or heavily subsidised tickets to a production designed especially for young people and performed in the open air Globe Theatre. We also run training sessions with teachers and workshops for students to help them to develop practical ways to understand Shakespeare’s plays.

Use the page below to get tickets for this year’s Macbeth, explore past productions and browse free online resources.

A collage of five posters from previous shows including Othello and Romeo and Juliet — **Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank** was launched in 2007 and since then has been giving students from London and Birmingham the chance to see Shakespeare for free. Pictured: a selection of previous production posters.

Each year the project gives free tickets to students – they come to the Globe Theatre to see a full-scale Shakespeare production, created specifically for young people. In 2019, our 13th Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank production played to over 27,000 schoolchildren, over 18,000 of whom came for free.

Playing Shakespeare is supported by Deutsche Bank as part of Born to Be – a youth engagement programme which is committed to helping young people reach their full potential.

A bold and eerie graphic illustration uses block shapes to make three stick-like people who hold their yellow arms up in the air and stare with red eyes — **Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank** continues to transform the ways in which thousands of young people experience Shakespeare. Pictured, the artwork for this year’s production of **Macbeth.**

A psychological thriller examining the dangers of political ambition, our 2022 production Macbeth will be a gripping, full-scale 90 minute performance in the Globe Theatre.

As part of our ongoing partnership with Deutsche Bank, we’ll be offering thousands of free tickets to students from London and Birmingham state schools and subsidised tickets for other students.

Performances for schools begin on 3 March and applications for tickets are now open.

Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis so we recommend applying as early as possible.

Families can also book to attend a family performance.

There are two different applications – one for free tickets for non-selective state schools in London and Birmingham, and one for subsidised tickets for all other schools. The subsidised tickets for students from other schools are £15 (seated), £10 (seated, restricted view) or £5 (standing).

You can request up to 200 tickets per performance; if you would like to bring more students, please complete two applications.
