Delve into the world of Shakespeare
Shakespearience takes place during the Autumn Term and allows students in Year 5 and 6 to delve into the world of a famous Shakespeare text. Across two packages, students take part in workshops, led by the Creative Learning Team, exploring the world of our chosen Shakespeare text. Through both packages, students will be able to experience a professional performance alongside workshops to further develop their theatrical skills and knowledge. As part of our extended package, students also get to perform their chosen text on our historic stage with all of the tech and staging provided by us.
