Workshops for Shakespeare Week 2025
Experience Shakespeare’s plays through drama, using the skills and techniques of professional theatre
Shakespeare’s plays were written to be performed! Our Shakespeare workshops use drama to give children an in-depth discovery of our greatest storyteller’s most famous plays.
This year, Shakespeare Week is celebrated 24 - 30 March 2025, and between 24 February and 30 March we’ll be delivering our ever-popular Shakespeare workshops exploring specially chosen plays at Primary Schools throughout the UK.
We help hundreds of schools celebrate a love of Shakespeare and creative expression each year, and our 2025 Shakespeare Week dates are selling fast. Enquire today to bring some West End in Schools magic to your school in the Spring term.
