The University of Warwick Shakespeare Society
At the Shakespeare Society, we actively encourage new members to bring new thoughts and ideas to the society where it is our priority to provide the opportunity for their voices to be heard.
The purpose of ShakeSoc is to provide a high standard of experiential education for both audience and participants. We aim to demonstrate that Shakespeare's plays and poetry can be accessible to a wide range of students, academics, regular theatre goers and people who have yet to experience his work.
Our intention is to educate young people from University students to school children about Shakespeare and his legacy through workshops and guest speakers. This society therefore functions as a means through which to enthuse and inspire its students.
ShakeSoc provides opportunities to learn more about him, to see plays, to visit museums and archives and to relate Shakespeare to contemporary society. We encourage the involvement of those whose interests lie within the literary side of education and learning as well as those who want to be part of the performance process.
So whether you'd like to act, direct, produce, watch Shakespeare's plays at various venues, get involved in dramaturgy, attend workshops or just generally have a discussion about our favourite bard, there is a place for you here at the Shakespeare Society.
