Text Charts

These charts, developed by the Artistic Director, are a unique development in the field of Shakespeare studies. They provide a detailed blueprint of the text in chart form. They include many components: act and scene breakdown, time and place, a color-coded list of characters, entrances and exits, plot points and the sub-plots that weave throughout the play, outlining the resolution of each one. These are great for teaching and performing. Text charts are available free with a residency, and are also made available for a nominal fee otherwise. Text charts are available free with a residency and attencance at a student matinee. They are also made available for a nominal fee otherwise. To purchase a text chart, please contact Lucy Tobin, Director of Education, at 215.496.9722 or at lucy@phillyshakespeare.org.

Study Guides

The study guides include dramaturgical information about the plays, insight into our particular production, lesson plans, games, information about Shakespeare's life and times, and resources for teachers.
