A Midsummer Night’s Dream Workshops and Performances for Schools
We are offering free workshops to participating schools who book to see a performance! These workshops will look at the themes thrown up in the text and are designed to show how actors and directors approach their work. Shakespeare's plays were primarily written to be performed, not read. Therefore with this in mind, the workshops aim to be practical and relevant. To suit all secondary age groups. Please call our Box Office staff direct to enquire about matinees and workshops.
Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer Wednesday 10 October Tim Watts, the man (and hands) behind Alvin Sputnik, will be holding a Q & A session with the audience after the performance. Free to ticket holders.

We welcome enquiries from individuals, schools and community groups, so don’t be afraid to ask. We’d also love to hear from you with ideas for projects you have in mind. However, we are not a training organisation or advice centre, so we cannot always respond to requests for careers advice. If we think we can help you, then of course we will.
