If you think Shakespeare isn’t for you, or even if you love his plays, this second workshop in the Shakespeare for Everyone series is for you.
Following the sell-out success of our Shakespeare Comedies workshop, this session will focus on the Bard’s tragedies. The accessible workshop will be led again by our Creative Director Martin Berry, who has created seven different Shakespeare productions, and will teach you tips and techniques to unlock Shakespeare’s language, characters and stories. Using extracts from several very well-known plays, everyone will get the chance to play, have fun and move at their own pace.
“I was rather nervous as I don’t have a background in acting… but the evening just sped past with a great mix of games and ‘work’. We were offered an evening of fun with a chance to play whilst moving at our own pace. This sounded exactly like what I like and I wasn’t disappointed! The whole workshop was extremely accessible.”
Participant Feedback
Martin has directed forty-nine different theatre productions across the UK, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Dr Faustus (Lakeside Arts), Twelfth Night (Nottingham Playhouse), The Tempest (Lakeside Arts & Nottingham Playhouse), The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntington (Read Not Dead, Shakespeare’s Globe), and The Libertine (Ovalhouse) to name but a few. This extensive experience as a director is matched by his background running workshops and working with developing artists at RADA, Italia Conti, the University of Nottingham, and a wide range of community performing arts groups.
