Option B - Interactive Workshop Presentation

This 90 minute interactive presentation is a fast- moving session packed with activities and is an ideal introduction to Shakespeare in performance. With plenty of humour and audience participation, the actors explore issues of staging, characterisation and motivation, trying out suggestions from the students and building towards performance level presentations of Act One Scene Five - the party scene - and Act Three Scene One - the fight scene.

Students are encouraged to assume the roles of director, designer and actor in the decision-making process and to see their ideas put into practice. The rehearsal of the second scene includes a very popular demonstration of the techniques of stage fighting. The pace and the variety of content makes this presentation a particularly accessible learning experience for mixed ability groups and can be pitched to suit the knowledge your students have of the play at the time of our visit.

Option B  can be performed in a school hall or theatre and is suitable for up to 225 students. The cost is £600 plus VAT. There is a significant discount if you book two of our presentations on the same day.
