Alternatively this energetic and interactive OUTREACH workshop is the perfect introduction to the incredible world of Shakespeare’s stories.

Chose either A Midsummer Night's Dream or The Tempest as the focus.

• Take part in an interactive storytelling session
• Discover key characters and magical moments from the play
• Seek out and collect a variety of props hidden around the classroom to create the world of the play
• Enjoy a lively music and movement session with ribbons, bells and songs as an energetic finale!
