Shakespeare Schools Festival is the UK’s largest youth drama festival, we work with over 1000 schools and 140 theatres across the country, and we hope you will join us this Autumn to make the 2015 Festival the biggest and best yet!

What is Shakespeare Schools Festival?

SSF is a charity that gives primary, secondary and special schools across the UK the opportunity to perform a 30 minute abridged Shakespeare play on a local, professional stage, alongside other local schools. We provide the training, resources and structure that enables you to direct a cast of up to 30 students to perform your chosen play in a non-competitive, celebratory night of Shakespeare in the Autumn term. For more detailed information please visit www.ssf.uk.com/howitworks.

Here is the full information leaflet: Info for Scottish schools – updated

This year in Scotland we will host the Festival at the following theatres, the Platform Theatre in Glasgow, The Church Hill Theatre in Edinburgh, Eden Court in Inverness, The Lochgelly Centre in Fife, Falkirk Town Hall and ACT Aberdeen. The performances will be in November, with additional training dates earlier in the year.

Spaces are limited, so do contact us via the details below as soon as you can if you are interested in hearing more!
