Plays are written "merely to be spoken" according to Shakespeare's contemporary John Marston. He agreed to publish a play so that readers might recall its performance, or what he termed "the soul of lively action". Teachers - perhaps better than anyone - know the challenges involved in bringing texts to life.

For twenty years, Globe Education has worked with teachers to develop new and exciting ways of exploring Shakespeare's works. Globe Education seeks to create active, practical approaches to Shakespeare that will inspire, enhance and develop classroom practice - and bring Shakespeare's words to life through "the soul of lively action".
