Not too cool for school
Hello, welcome to our new Schools section. Here, we'll upload our Education Resource Packs - designed to inspire and engage young minds. Plus, you can dive deeper with filmed scenes from our production of A Raisin in the Sun through the Digital Theatre website [link this Nathan]. Teachers, educators, and schools—these resources are made for dynamic, thought-provoking learning.

This educational pack, developed by us with the help of the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, supports GCSE, A Level, and BTEC Drama students studying A Raisin in the Sun. It offers in-depth insights into the play’s themes, social and historical context, and the creative process behind the production, including set, costume, sound design, and performance techniques.
It also features interviews with key creatives, practical classroom resources, and discussion prompts to deepen students’ understanding of live theatre and practitioner approaches. The pack emphasises inclusivity, sustainability in theatre, and the relevance of Hansberry’s groundbreaking play today.
