This interview and response explore Tom Bird's reflections on how digital processes functioned within an educational context in relation to Shakespeare's Globe's large scale, international work delivered between 2012 and 2016 - specifically in relation to the 2012 "Globe to Globe Festival" and the 2014-2016 "World Hamlet" tour. The response contextualises the key points raised by Bird within the wider perspective of Rex Gibson's concept of teaching Shakespeare(s), applying this critical reading to current teaching practice, UK GCSE English Literature exam materials and educational resources created by Shakespeare's Globe and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
