Shakespeare is arguably the greatest playwright of all time. The aim of this week-long course is to make his work accessible to all. Through workshops and masterclasses, you will explore the vagaries and complexities of Shakespeare’s language, uncovering brilliant characters, fantastic stories and emotional realities.
This informative and popular course is open to anyone over the age of 18 with an interest in acting, either as a student, a professional or those who act ‘just for the fun of it’!
The course culminates with a celebratory meal where you will have the opportunity to discuss the course and any future plans with teaching staff.
