"Huge thanks to Jo and all the team at As Creatives - the schools in our Manchester Hub have been delighted with the workshops. You have delivered some amazing sessions (as always!). Thank you so much for all your hard work - we really do love working with As Creatives!" Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
"The students now have a clearer understanding of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. The level of subject knowledge from Jackson was brilliant. The special facts that he knew blew the children away and made the workshop so much more memorable. Thank you for your fantastic delivery. We really enjoyed having you at Chichester Free School."

"That was simply brilliant. Thank you so much for a wonderful morning. It far surpassed my expectations and I know that the children really enjoyed every minute. You managed to captivate the children and truly got the best from them. The activities were perfectly pitched and I would really recommend your workshop for all as your enthusiasm for Shakespeare and great manner made it a true pleasure." Live Streamed Workshop, Teacher, Reddiford School

"I wanted to thank you and Chris for the brilliant workshops he delivered yesterday with our students. The sessions were thoroughly engaging, and his attention to detail, especially with the timings, was spot on. The students absolutely loved it, and the feedback from our English teachers has been overwhelmingly positive. They loved how refreshing and inspiring Chris’s approach to our students was. I’ll definitely be recommending you to other schools in Leicester. Thank you once again, and I really look forward to hopefully working with As Creatives and Chris again in the near future!"
