William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright of all time. If you wish you knew a bit more about the Bard, or want to reawaken your passion for his plays and poems, don’t miss out on this fabulous masterclass with Ben Crystal.
In the space of just two hours, you’ll receive fascinating insights into Shakespeare’s working processes – from how his famous sonnets were constructed to how his plays were rehearsed and performed. Plus, you’ll learn about some of the clues he left behind in his writing, including how he used cue-scripts and the ways he directed his actors.
Ben is one of the world’s leading experts on Shakespeare, having founded the Passion in Practice theatre company and co-written many books on the subject. During this unique class, Ben will argue that the works of the famous “Bard of Avon” are tools to be used and stories to be performed – not books to be read. Don’t miss out on a phenomenal chance to learn from Ben’s knowledge and passion – book your place now and reawaken your interest in all things Shakespearean.
