Following the 458th birthday of William Shakespeare on 23rd April, GCH Library have spent the last week celebrating his work!
To mark the occasion, the Library team put together a display including the classic works of Shakespeare, manga adaptations of his texts and Lisa Klein's brilliant Hamlet retelling titled Ophelia.
As part of the week's celebrations, students also had the opportunity to partake in an exciting 'Shakespeare's Idioms' competition. To enter, we asked everyone to create a piece of art based on a Shakespearean idiom such as 'a heart of gold' (Henry V) and explain in their own words what this means.
Thank you to Ivy (7R) for her brilliant interpretation of 'the world's mine oyster' which she defines as 'you can do anything or go anywhere you want to'.
We also encouraged students to create an illustration based on a passage from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Antony and Cleopatra or a play of their own choosing.
Thank you to Bea (7R) for this lovely illustration inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream!
Well done to everyone who entered!
