Shakespeare Reloaded

Shakespeare Reloaded Shakespeare Reloaded is a unique project that explores creative approaches to the theory and practice of teaching and learning Shakespeare.

We are a team of academics and school teachers exploring new approaches to teaching and learning Shakespeare. We research the history, theory, and practice of education and literary studies. Shakespeare Reloaded aims to provide interesting and innovative theories, ideas, activities, and approaches for educators eager to explore fresh ways of thinking about Shakespeare. Our project is supported by

the University of Sydney and Barker College. We are based in Sydney, Australia, but our interest in how creativity can enrich student learning is global.

Take a fresh look at Macbeth with Shakespeare Reloaded team member Dr Kate Flaherty's fascinating piece on the outer & inner dimensions of the Scottish play!

The tragedy of Macbeth issues a warning for our times about the harm that is done when the desire for power drowns out the inner voice of conscience.
