The Big Interview in this issue is with crime thriller writer William Shaw, a master of convincing readers by creating real environments.
Encouraging reading for pleasure in your students is also the subject of the ‘Pause for Thought’ piece in this issue (page 23), intrinsic to a lifetime of discovery and learning, and finding the spark to ignite their reading curiosity is key. With the summer months ahead, and textbooks put away, let’s hope that reading for pleasure can be encouraged. For inspiration, read our interview with Rachael Rogan, founder of the BookTastic programme, passionate about instilling a love of reading in children from all backgrounds.
This issue also includes an in depth look at the RSC’s raft of resources and events to support teachers and students looking to study of The Empress, prior to the staging of the play in both Stratford-upon-Avon this summer and later in the year at the Lyric in Hammersmith. Also on the syllabus, Blackeyed Theatre are staging a revival of Oh! What a Lovely War, with an extensive UK tour later this year to mark the 60th anniversary of the show’s premiere and we caught up with its director for an insight.
