The Shakesperience—Helps you read, teach, and learn Shakespeare

  • A combination of embedded glossary and audio helps students more quickly build their ability to understand Shakespears’s language
  • “Audio is very useful in teaching Shakespeare; without the visual reference of a video, students are forced to listen closely.”—Ann Basso, University of South Florida
  • In just a few swipes and taps, readers start the play and are able to move around as their curiosity dictates.
  • The Shakesperience is the most student-friendly Shakespeare for every learning style.
