After an amazing year and bounce back from the pandemic, through requests from teachers we are now providing Shakespeare performances for years 7 - 9 as well as our GCSE Shakespeare. We are very excited therefore to add three new titles to our Shakespeare roster. A quick glance at our reviews page will show how well our show & workshop package went down last year, with schools regularly rebooking with us for the same academic year as well as the future. All our Shakespeare shows are edited versions running just over 1 hour presented classically with a cast of 4/5 actors. We keep all the key scenes/ characters in our work and bring to life the text in a way that helps the students understand the plot as well as feel the emotions of the characters. This is then followed by a workshop to help further cement knowledge and understanding.
A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens
Available 15th November - 22nd December 2023
Following the success and popularity of A Christmas Carol in the last academic year, we are bringing this to schools as a Christmas show this time around. It is an excellent text that can be watched by all key stages for entertainment and study, and indeed many of our schools introduce this to year 7 as well as GCSE.
This performance will begin with a pre - show talk followed by a 1 hour 20 minute performance,
and a Q & A session at the end.

We are very excited to expand our repertoire into GCSE history for the first time this year, and have added two brand new interactive workshops and performance shows for 2023, bringing history to life!
Our mission is to educate in a fun and engaging way, our workshops give students a chance to discuss and evaluate key historical events that have shaped our world, bringing the facts off the page and into life.
Each of our two shows begin with an original play written by our Artistic Director,
followed by a workshop, which includes a talk on the period bringing Historical moments to life and a Q&A session.
In The Elizabethan era, students will be transported to a world of adventure, intrigue, personalities, plots and power struggles. At the centre was Elizabeth 1, ‘The Virgin Queen’, who ruled England between 1558-1603
In The Interwar years 1918-1939 we explore the chain of events from the WW1 armistice to the rise of Hitler
and the key reasons that led to the outbreak of WW2.
