  • Focuses on how Shakespeare’s texts have been interpreted throughout history and for contemporary audiences.
  • Explores the continuing value and relevance of Shakespeare’s work for Australian students today.
  • Encourages students to extend what they have learned through their own writing and research and through further viewing and reading.
