"Have-a-Go Shakespeare" Workshop

Have-a-go Shakespeare is, as its name implies, a practical approach to Shakespeare run by professional theatre company Shakespeare Link.  Phil Bowen and Sue Best, now artistic directors at the Willow Globe, are both seasoned theatre professionals who've worked around the world with projects ranging from the smallest community or educational project to working with flagship companies such as the English Shakespeare Company, the RSC, the Old Vic in London and the Royal Opera House.

Have-a-go sessions typically last three hours with a tea-break in the middle. Phil and Sue allocate scenes to small groups and all read and explore them before putting them on their feet, sharing and showing, without any pressure. Sessions are relaxed, fun, challenging but never threatening, allowing everyone to enjoy and access the plays, having a go at reading and acting out the text, bringing their own views and experience to enrich the mix and collaborating to explore and find fresh insights in familiar, or sometimes unfamiliar, language. The plays seem startlingly relevant and current for today. Would you like to be part of this exciting new group? Please ring Shakespeare Link on 01597 811487 or email info@shakespearelink.co.uk for more details.
