The new curriculum for KS3 means that students are required to study two Shakespeare plays. Sonali has been working with the RSC's Schools' Broadcasts for the past two years, helping transforming young people's attitudes towards Shakespeare. They are available free to all UK schools and hundreds of schools and thousands of students watch each broadcast.

In the past, Sonali has hosted Q&A sessions in these broadcasts with directors and actors involved in Henry IV parts 1 and 2, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love Labours Lost and Love Labours Won.

During 2016, there will be a series of events to mark the 400th death anniversary of Shakespeare. Sonali once again joined the RSC, this time to broadcast their 2015 production of Othello, directed by Iqbal Khan.
