Schools Productions
Our school productions are specifically created to assist students with their academic study. We keep Shakespeare’s original language, but condense the story, so it can easily slot within the school timetable. Performances are followed by Q&A sessions and interactive workshops, allowing the students to further explore the language, characters and interpretations of the main themes.
GCSE TOUR AUTUMN 2021 - MACBETH & ROMEO AND JULIET
Our school productions are specifically created for students; performed by 4 actors and condensed to an energetic 75 minutes. Performances can be followed by a Q&A session, as well as interactive workshops, allowing further exploration of the language, characters and main themes. For more information on our workshops, please click here.
Our secondary school tours deliver a strong interpretation of the play to assist discussion, while displaying the dramatic impact of text in performance. Our cast comprises of four professional actors, who revel at the chance to engage with children and impart their unique knowledge and experience. The productions are cut, directed and designed by GSC’s professional team to the same standards as our main-house shows.
“The performance is a fantastic opportunity for our students. Being able to see and understand how the characters change throughout the play will really help them with their studies.”
Mechelle De Salas, Head of English at Christ’s College Guildford
