Much Ado About Nothing

Play In A Day®

Based on National Curriculum topics, these short plays are produced in an ensemble style using inventive theatre techniques such as choral speech, stylised movement and mime.

The plays are for up to 30 pupils and are both accessible and fun and enable children of all abilities to develop their skills and confidence with an experienced theatre practitioner. 

How the Day Works;

After registration the group spends time learning vocal and movement exercises designed to build their confidence and encourage them to work together. The children do not receive copies of the script as lines are given orally by the director. The day culminates in a short performance to the rest of the school before your school day ends, allowing the children to share their work. Lots of our schools choose to invite parents too!

This workshop is perfect for Shakespeare Week. Early booking is recommended to secure your desired date.
