Here's an overview of what we do:

Shakespeare Live:
Twelfth Night

Shakespeare's most renowned comedy is brought to life in a 90-minute production for Key Stage 3. A 60-minute version of the text is followed by 30 minutes of workshops which help the pupils understand Shakespeare as well as take part in the creation of his world. A teacher's pack is included with booking.

Shakespeare 365:
Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet

We are delighted to be able to offer a choice of Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet workshops all year round. Shakespeare 365 is our most interactivr and flexible Shakespeare project, which allows us to offer it at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4

Primary Shakespeare:
A Midsummer Night's Dream

Primary Shakespeare has been an important part of our Education programme for over 20 years. During the summer term, four actors visit schools to give a two-hour storytelling workshop on A Midsummer Night's Dream. The pupils will then come to the Orange Tree to see an abridged performance which lasts around an hour.

Drama Workshops

We can offer assistance to Drama teachers with practitioner-based workshops and performance mentoring.

Workshops:
Remembrance

The 90-minute workshop covers key aspects of the Word Wars with a specific focus on Remembrance.

Wex Workshop

An hour-long workshop featuring forum theatre that prepares Year 10 for their work experience.

Work Experience

We provide work experience for young people interested in finding out more about a career in theatre. Placements are offered during the period of September to June. Placements are usually for one week, subject to an informal interview, and are in great demand.
