The Global Shakespeares Video and Performance Archive offers full-length performances of Shakespeare’s plays from around the world in dozens of languages, along with essays and content from scholars and educators in the field. The “Links” through the “Resources” tab provides access to a variety of international Shakespeare organizations and acting companies, which showcase varied productions and performances of the Bard’s plays. This is a particularly rich resource for upper high school students who may be comparing and contrasting the different ways Shakespeare’s works are presented in other languages, cultures, and styles.

Shakespeare's Globe

ispplibrary — 2015-01-29 06:44:58 UTC

The London-based Shakespeare’s Globe—rebuilt near the site of the Globe Theatre, where the poet himself performed as a resident player in the early 1600s—is a playhouse and exploratorium that examines Shakespeare’s works through education and stage productions. Many of the institution’s offerings require visits to the center, but a fair amount of instructional resources are available online. Notably, the “Papers and Research” and “Playing Shakespeare” sections within “Discovery Space” provide teachers with an inventory of teaching guides, teacher’s notes, and supplementary information on many of the Bard’s plays. A great source for drama teachers or those interested in teaching students more about the Shakespearean stage.

Shakespeare Pro (app)

ispplibrary — 2015-01-29 06:53:50 UTC

With 41 plays, 154 sonnets, and six poems, this app puts Shakespeare at your fingertips. The plays include a list of characters, scene breakdowns, annotated and abridged plot points, and limited glossary access. Truly set up as a bit of a teaser for the pro-app, the free option offers users a taste of the extras like portraits and notes, and features limited information regarding chronology of works, theater information, statistics, roles, scansions, and poetry terms. Great for on-the-go homework; but consider the pro version for more in-depth assignments.

(Free; Pro version: 9.99, or 4.99 vol. pricing)
