What do teachers have to say about this resource? (8894)

Detailed and robust. Definitely user friendly to aid practice and pedagogy in the classroom. Also accessible enough to be given to pupils as a guide to independent learning. A great starting point for classroom study of a text in performance. The scene by scene practical activities are especially useful." K Cairns, Drama Teacher
