Schools & Academics
“Kill Shakespeare is a fantastic educational resource. It's an engaging and innovative way to introduce Shakespeare's characters, and as the canon expands it gives students the desire to dig deeper for their own study and enjoyment.”
- Kent Allin, Bayside Secondary High School
Kill Shakespeare has been taught in schools across Canada and the United States, at both the high school and the university level. Kill Shakespeare is perfect both for introducing students to the tricks and tropes of the Bard, or challenging more advance students to use the comics as a way to contextualize the Bard’s original work.
To order a class set your school can contact your sales representatives (ie. Follett or Baker & Taylor).
The series has also been the subject of numerous academic research and papers, in addition to the over 20,000 words of annotations written for the Backstage Edition. This beautiful hardcover edition of the series, is a perfect tool for students of any age to “brush up on their Bard.”
