Outreach Key Text Workshops

Designed in response to travel costs and larger group sizes, our popular KS3 and 4 workshops bring the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's expert actors and teachers into your school.

Key Text Workshops: Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venice

Mixing live performances of key scenes with interactive elements, character exploration, and a Q&A, the sessions are ideal either to help launch your pupils' study of the play or build on their in-depth knowledge for revision purposes.

Key themes include:

• Understanding plot and narrative
• Language and imagery
• Character exploration
• Historical context and contemporary relevance
• Personal response- forming and elaborating on pupil ideas.

Sessions are 2 hours to allow groups to assemble and depart, but can be 90 minutes to suit the school timetable.

Up to two sessions per day and up to 120 pupils per session.

Cost: £450 plus travel for a half day or £700 plus travel for a full day.

Each booking includes a FREE resource pack with a range of additional classroom materials.

Why not augment the session with a half-price Connecting with Shakespeare digital session which includes a 20 minute video plus 40 minute live Q and A?

Great for revision, refreshing and developing the knowledge gained from a live visit!

The Connecting with Shakespeare session costs £150 – or just £75 when booked with a live outreach workshop.
