Romeo and Juliet Workshop
with Ron Norman
Get the most out of your encounter with Romeo & Juliet by joining Shakespeare practitioner Ron Norman in exploring the play through an active voice, text and language workshop. The focus of the session will be on the speaking of Shakespeare’s verse in some of the play’s most well-known speeches. No previous experience or knowledge necessary!
Romeo and Juliet RSC 2018
If any of Shakespeare’s plays can be said to belong to the young, then this is it – and Erica Whyman’s enthusiastically received RSC production from 2018 is hugely youthful, irresistibly dynamic and at times edgily contemporary. This screening (by special permission of the RSC) offers us a rare chance to experience some of the vigour and verve of a production which regularly provoked standing ovations from enthusiastic audiences in Stratford and London, as well as raising a host of issues for discussion among critics.

MACBETH WITH DAVID TENNANT AND CUSH JUMBO

Captured live at the Donmar Warehouse, London in January 2024, the film is powerful and absorbing, enhancing the emotion and intensity of the stage play on the big screen.
