The Wood of Words cover

A unique and thoughtful adaptation for young performers is co-written by director Chris White and award-winning playwright Hannah Khalil, highlighting several of Shakespeare's works from the First Folio in honour of the 400th anniversary this year.

Friendship makes us fresh.
And doth beget new courage in our breasts.

A new play for young people and schools, created from Shakespeare’s works.

In this wood of words, a band of newcomers arrive to witness banishments, storms, unhappy endings, reunions, and murder most foul... and try to make sense of it all. This unique and thoughtful adaptation for young performers of several of Shakespeare’s works is co-written by director Chris White and award-winning playwright Hannah Khalil, in honour of the 400th anniversary of the First Folio this year.

The Wood of Words was created as part of the Associate Schools Programme (the RSC’s long term partnership programme with schools and theatre partners). This edition was published to coincide with the Playmaking Festival at the RSC, in July 2023.
