REVIEWS FROM THE TEMPEST AND HAMLET THIS YEAR:

“The students went away realising that Shakespeare is not boring”

“The feedback we had from our students was overwhelmingly positive. They were thrilled with the experience. Many anticipated that they wouldn’t understand or follow the performance and they were so excited about how accessible it was. Lots of excited discussion during subsequent lessons.”

“I think the chance to see a live performance is excellent”

“The Drama students loved it! Some students for who Shakespeare is not their cup of tea also enjoyed the performance”

“The best $6 my parents have ever spent on me”

“The students love this event every year, this year was no exception”

Hamlet
