Series 2: Ep 7: Shakespeare and The Globe Education Department

In this month's episode Ali Warren, Open Drama UK Co-founder and champion for the South West is in conversation with Lucy Cuthbertson, Co-Director of Shakespeare's Globe Education department.  Lucy is a former teacher herself and has been in post at The Globe since September 2019. Having worked for the bulk of that time through a pandemic she is definitely the epitome of the famous line "Be not afraid of greatness" she has some brilliant top tips to share, speak very candidly about her role and how lucky she feels to be in post with so many exciting projects coming up. "It is good for young people to interrogate him [Shakespeare] if you think he is godlike and put him on a pedestal that might not be helpful!" Lucy Cuthbertson, Co-Director of the Globe's Education Department.     "I like the feeling of risk we have at The Globe." Lucy Cuthbertson, Co-Director of the Globe's Education Department.
