New Exhibition Designed by Sarner for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
The home of Shakespeare is set to welcome a new exhibition this spring that will take visitors on a journey through the creative and cultural environments that helped shape William Shakespeare.
New Exhibition Set to Explore the Formative Influences That Helped Shape Shakespeare
Work will soon begin on the creation of a new exhibition at Shakespeare’s Birthplace that promises a thought-provoking and illuminating exploration of the influences that helped shape a young William Shakespeare and the creative spark that inspired his work and continued legacy.
“Our new exhibition reflects the Trust’s commitment to preserving, celebrating and sharing the Shakespeare story with audiences. With this new, engaging experience we are focusing on William’s formative years and creative influences helping our visitor feel a personal connection to the beginnings of his extraordinary journey and the profound insights he continues to share on the human condition.”
Said Rachael North, Interim CEO of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
The visitor journey will unfold through a series of carefully curated spaces, blending historical narratives with immersive storytelling. Two new audio-visual experiences will use Shakespeare’s evocative language to place his creative practice in his home. Exhibition galleries will display carefully selected items from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s world-class collection, highlighting the influence of place on William and his work.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust have worked in partnership with award-winning experiential design and production practice Sarner International to reimagine and enhance the visitor experience.
Commenting on their appointment Bradley Wynne, Creative Director, Sarner International said:
“Shakespeare’s Birthplace is one of the most important literary heritage sites in the world, and we are honoured to bring a fresh and immersive perspective to this extraordinary place. Our goal is to engage audiences in a way that sparks curiosity and conversation, making Shakespeare’s life and works resonate in new and meaningful ways.”
This new exhibition will replace the current ‘Famous Beyond Words’ galleries. Installation of the new experience is scheduled to start in late April 2025.
