Lots of visitors in the Great HallOn Wednesday 15th of December 2010, Bexley Grammer School performed a 40 minute version of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Great Hall at Hampton Court. Bexley Grammar are just one of the 650 schools who have participated in the Shakespeare Schools Festival (SSF) this year, performing versions of Shakespeare's plays in over 80 theatres across the country.

Historic Royal Palaces and the SSF have worked together to create the opportunity for one school group to re-stage their performance in the grandest of all surviving theatres in which Shakespeare's plays were performed in his lifetime. After a successful performance at the Unicorn Theatre in Southwark, Bexley were chosen by the SSF to take up the challenge.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was performed in the Great Hall on New Year's Day 1604 for the newly crowned King James I. The Hampton Court Education Service invites all to come to the palace on the 15th to see this latest version!
