Shakespeare & Rap

Devon Glover, an artist from Brooklyn, New York, brings Shakespeare's sonnets to life through hip-hop as The Sonnet Man. He's a teacher, rapper, poet, playwright, and actor who performs in schools and theatres across the globe.

His work has been featured on NBC, MSNBC, and BBC. He's also presented at major conferences and festivals worldwide, including in Stratford, Ontario, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Devon has taught with esteemed organisations such as the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Shakespeare Behind Bars.

A notable achievement includes his 2016 Sonnet Marathon tour, where he rapped all 154 of Shakespeare’s sonnets in succession to mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death.
