Shakespeare & Memory

Friend and collaborator on our Greater Shakespeare project, Hester Lees-Jeffries continues to enlighten us and give us new ways of understanding Shakespeare in her latest book 'Shakespeare & Memory', published by the Oxford University Press.

Highly recommended by all at Kit Grover. See what the Times has to say here. 

Everybody Dies in Shakespeare's Tragedies

Caitlin Griffin was inspired when she created this exceptional educational chart showing the many many deaths in Shakespeare's Tragedies. Refashioned for the National Theatre's exclusive use, a wide range of merchandise will be available from mid-October.

The full range is now available at the National Theatre's pop up Shopping & E*ting and online.

Greater Shakespeare

The tube is 150 today! Our local station Farringdon has been gearing up for weeks.  A few years ago we co-designed the Greater Shakespeare map for the RSC (with a lot of help from Cambridge academic Dr Hesters Lees-Jeffries).  Have you seen it before?

Large version here.

As we're looking at the tube, here are a few great old tube posters.
