The Children's Shakespeare Debate

18-24 March 2019

Watch our fabulous Children's Shakespeare Debate hosted by MICHAEL ROSEN on the Shakespeare Week website during Shakespeare Week.

The Children's Shakespeare Debate

Were Romeo and Juliet's parents responsible for their children's deaths? Were Romeo and Juliet good role models?

Find out in our fabulous programmes, chaired by Michael Rosen, as children go head-to-head to debate these Shakespearian dilemmas in a special event at The Playhouse in Whitley Bay. These programmes will be aired throughout Shakespeare Week.
