The Shakespeare Deck is a powerful, portable toolkit for actors seeking to crack Shakespeare’s codes and wield the full power of his words, enabling you to get more from your text work, auditions and rehearsals.

The difference with this approach is that the possibilities are opened up by discoveries made in the text. Shakespeare has given you everything you need, you just need to develop the same shared knowledge his contemporaries would have had, to unlock what is coded into the very fabric of the plays. Instead of feeling like you’re fighting against the text, or imposing assumptions onto it, the deck allows you to make informed choices that work with, and enrich, what is there on the page, without limiting your creativity or ownership of the role.
