Royal Shakespeare Company

Bringing Shakespeare to life with the RSC

The launch of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC) Shakespeare Curriculum, ‘the most important development in the teaching of Shakespeare in a generation’, marks Charanga's first expansion into arts education.

Our groundbreaking collaboration with the RSC and the launch of the Shakespeare Curriculum aims to revolutionise the way Shakespeare is studied and taught in schools worldwide.

We bring the same commitment to excellence that has defined our technology-enabled approach to music education to the teaching of literature and drama globally.

Immersive, creative learning experiences

The Shakespeare Curriculum will turn Shakespeare’s 10 most studied plays into a 24-part creative learning series, bringing the RSC’s unique blend of theatre practice, research, and digital innovation into schools.

The Shakespeare Curriculum distils the RSC’s award-winning teaching approaches into a bespoke digital platform built by Charanga. It has everything teachers and students need to teach and learn about Shakespeare, immersing them in the creative world of an RSC rehearsal room. Grounded in the techniques used by actors and directors, the Shakespeare Curriculum takes students beyond their desks, unlocking language, character and themes, and fostering vital skills for school, life and work.

New content will be regularly uploaded onto the platform, ensuring teachers have access to fresh, authoritative resources that reflect the RSC’s deep understanding of Shakespeare’s works in performance.
