Shakespeare is bae <3
I love losing and finding myself in Shakespeare's world.
I have an MA in Shakespeare Studies from King's College London and I'm on a mission to make him accessible and fun.
Shakespeare is at once an enigma and an answer. His work is deeply emotive and philosophical, but also funny and vulgar. He's highbrow and lowly, traditional and counterculture, insightful and obvious. He's full of contradictions because he's a complete whole. And a pleasure to be around.
In my work, be it the events I host, articles I write or workshops I conduct, I talk:
- about his work
- about him aka Shakespeare the man, and
- about his influence and public image aka Shakespeare the (global) brand
Come join me!
Workshops
I host customised 1:1 Shakespeare workshops online, depending on what you want to learn. You can choose any of his works and we'll look at it together.
Studying him is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I'm excited to share that with you!

Events
I host Shakespeare related events in Mumbai. Keep a close eye on this space or my Instagram (@aarushi_agrawal01) for updates about those.
Articles
I try to write in a way that connects Shakespeare with the world we're living in today. It's a very enriching dialogue. Give it a chance!
