Shakespeare for GCSE and A Level / S4 – S6

It’s unlikely that any of Shakespeare’s actors ever saw full copies of the plays they appeared in, instead using “cue cards” for rehearsals. And this challenging workshop builds on that theatre history.

Give your students an insider’s perspective of the play they’re studying, and a chance to shine in their exams, by exploring key scenes and/or themes and/or characters in dramatic detail. Tied to the relevant syllabus, these workshops will be informed by your needs – and the more time you can give us with your cohort the better!

Workshop FAQs

How many pupils can take part in one day?

This workshop can accommodate up-to 30 students at a time, in sessions lasting as little as one hour, meaning it is usually possible to have up-to 150 take part over the course of one day. Higher numbers can sometimes be accommodated.

What is the format of the day?

We will work with you to plan a timetable for the workshops, to suit the number of students you would like to include – and around the specific timings of your school day.

Are there any technical requirements?

Your visitor will need access to a laptop/ screen/projector set up in the working space.
