The largest simultaneous Shakespeare recital consists of 292 people, and was achieved by The Henrietta Barnett School (UK), in London, UK, on 23 April 2019.


The school prepared for this attempt over a period of four months to make sure they achieved it. They had special practice assemblies and themed costumes for World Book Day to help with memorising their chosen pieces. On the day they recited soliloquies from As You Like It, MacBeth, Romeo and Juliet and the famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet.
