Shakespeare: Play in a Day
Up to four groups can rehearse scenes in a day, learning characters and story through drama, physical theatre, movement and play. The groups then come together to perform a complete Shakespeare story.
Our SPLATS director brings props, costume pieces, music and sound effects, and links the scenes as narrator to help everyone participate with confidence.
Suitable for Key Stage 2, 3 and above, with up to 140 pupils in a day.
Touring Shakespeare productions
Macbeth
Witches, warriors, ghosts and the consequences of ambition in a dramatic, stripped-back production narrated by Macduff. The play's language is at the heart of the storytelling.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Comic confusion, meddling fairies and an enchanted wood. A wonderfully lively introduction to Shakespeare's imaginative world.
We can also discuss The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet and double-bill arrangements.
Our touring shows run approximately one hour with a cast of three and can be followed by a Q&A or workshop.
