Shakespeare Live! Schedule…

Shakespeare is renowned for creating some of the most dastardly villains of all time. In this workshop we’ll be using drama to explore Shakespeare’s language and see what links some of his most evil creations. Using lines straight from the bard’s pen, we’ll be slinging Shakespearean insults, creating some of our own, and bringing some of his villains to life.
