About FEB HALF TERM - KING LEAR - A Shakespeare play-in-a-week
5 - 11yrs
We can't wait to kick the year off, as we always do, with a Shakespeare play-in-a-week! And what a play. King Lear - one of the greatest tragedies ever written. It's got it all - kings, princesses, fools, goodies, baddies, storms, revenge, despair, hope! It's an extraordinary story - and we'll be ending our week with an Infinite Jest adaptation of this timeless tale.
Along the way, we'll learn about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan/Jacobean age, we'll become great Shakespearean actors on the Globe stage, we'll learn theatrical story telling techniques, such as stage combat, puppetry, mask. We'll use our bodies and our voices and our imaginations to create characters. We'll sing and dance, and express ourselves in other ways - crafting, drawing, designing.
Above all, we'll make new friends, grow in confidence, and have the best fun ever!
"Infinite Jest is proper creativity: playful, experimental, anarchic. The shows are pure joy" feedback from our Macbeth camp 2024
