Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation is proud to present the world’s largest youth drama festival at artsdepot.

Join us on Tue 18 Nov and Wed 19 Nov for a thrilling theatrical event, featuring a series of abridged Shakespeare plays, performed by local schools.

This year, we celebrate our 25th anniversary with plans to work with 25,000 students in 25 months. Support young people from your community as they take to the stage in a unique evening of live theatre. Details of the schools performing at Artsdepot can be found on our website.

“If Shakespeare had been sitting in the audience, he would have loved everything he saw.”  Ben Willbond, actor and screenwriter (Ghosts, Horrible Histories, The Thick of It)
