Overview

We understand how difficult it can be for a student to feel involved in the world of literature, and for a teacher to evoke the excitement of live theatre in their classroom, and so have created the SmartPass range of audio education resources that enable students to experience, enjoy and appreciate the power of the written word in its fullest sense. The drama is performed by actors from the RSC, BBC and the Royal National Theatre. The educational drama and classroom materials are written by teachers. This resource is an ideal introduction to any Shakespeare text, as it is designed to help break down the barriers of language, imagery and social context. Students not only experience and explore scenes from popular plays and poems, but by understanding what life was like in Elizabethan and Jacobean England they develop an appreciation of how Shakespeare's writing changed the face of literature and why it is still enjoyed today. The drama focuses on key themes, relevant historical, social and biographical background.
