The opening of Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall, as a new world-class heritage attraction, provides the missing chapter of the story of William Shakespeare’s life in Stratford – his education and his inspiration to act and write. Those coffin-like units that are arranged axially towards the teacher are re-creations of the original “forms” that pupils would sit on. The word form is now used for a class.
