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.
FILMED PRODUCTIONS 2021
As part of our coronavirus response, Guildford Shakespeare Company recently recorded new school productions of Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Each performance was adapted specifically for GCSE students and is accompanied by over 100 minutes of additional cast interviews and scenes in rehearsal.
BUY THE PRODUCTIONS
Each production is available to purchase at the introductory price of just £200 (order before the Spring Half Term, Friday 12 February). All videos will made available to you via online platforms, until the end of the academic year.
“It has been fantastic to be able to offer students the opportunity to watch a production which was created with them in mind. It was a wonderful experience for them during a year which has been very different and difficult.” Cobham Free School

Secondary School TourOur secondary school tours deliver a strong interpretation of the play to assist discussion, while displaying the dramatic impact of text in performance.
“As always the performers were a fantastic representation of GSC and their enthusiasm, passion and professionalism was clear for all to see .” Jamie Foster, Bishop David Brown School
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.
Primary School Tour
Our primary schools tour links the scenes through narration and involve the children throughout.
“We absolutely love working with the GSC and, once again, the quality of the performances and workshops is unparalleled. It’s all the children can talk about.” Guildford Grove School
The audience are involved through soundscapes, slow motion fights and our Shakespeare puppet, 'Little Will'. The children are also invited on stage to take on characters like King Duncan and The Nurse.
Outreach
We regularly take our productions to schools that wouldn’t normally be able to afford it. This is made possible through our partnerships with Delight Charity, The Geoff Herrington Foundation and Guildford Community Grants.
