Teaching Shakespeare


I teach Shakespeare to drama students and actors across the world.



I just wanted to email you and tell you that I really really enjoyed your class today. Out of all the times I’ve been taught Shakespeare, today completely changed the way I see (and think about) it. I really hope this won’t be the last time I get to work with you because I have so much more to learn from you! Thank you so much for today. I won’t forget your teachings!

“Kelly Hunter is an extraordinary actor and teacher who now generously shares the insights, skills and knowledge that she has amassed during the course of her varied career. Having witnessed the power of Kelly’s approaches first-hand I recommend Cracking Shakespeare to anyone who thinks Shakespeare isn’t for them or who simply wants to explore new, innovative approaches to unlocking Shakespeare’s language.”


— Gregory Doran, former Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company
