Delve into the world of Shakespeare

Shakesperience takes place during the Autumn Term and allows students in Year 5 and 6 to delve into the world of a famous Shakespeare text. Students take part in workshops, led by the Creative Learning Team, creating their own response to a production of a Shakespeare play they watch at the beginning of the Autumn Term. The project cumulates with a performance on the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds stage allowing young people the opportunity to perform a section of the chosen Shakespeare text
