Actor Ben Crystal makes sense of Shakespeare by putting him back into context. Less of a talk, and more of a performance, this event includes an exploration of Elizabethan theatre and what a trip to a Shakespeare play in 1600 would be like, a masterclass on the poetry style Shakespeare wrote in, and a look at Original Pronunciation (the accent Shakespeare would have spoken in).
Relevant for all ages – whether experiencing the Bard for the first time or refreshing ahead of exams. Let us know what you’re studying, and Ben will speak about those plays! Ben Crystal is an Associate Artist at the new Shakespeare North Playhouse and curator of theShakespeareEnsemble.com.
Secondary schools – all years. 90 minute sessions
