“O brave new world,
That has such people in’t!”
Join us for an exploration from an actor's point of view of
The Tempest, which, in a first for our schools, will culminate in an informal sharing of the work achieved
with the team and theatre community at SCRUM.
Monologues, duologues and some scenes will be
distributed by Michael prior to the school meeting. Participants can work on these privately and learn if they
wish and use the techniques discovered in the week to further add to their experience and discovery of the
text!
Written towards the end of Shakespeare’s career, in 1610-11, The Tempest brings together some of the best
loved elements of his earlier plays: the magic of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth; the fateful
shipwreck of Twelfth Night; the drama of love and reconciliation of King Lear and The Winter’s Tale. All of
this comes together, expressed in some of the most beautiful poetry Shakespeare ever wrote.
We hope you’ll join us at SCRUM Studios for six days of intensive exploration of this extraordinary play.
Cost per day: £80.
Discounted six-day price: £450.
Light refreshments will be provided.
The Julian Curry bursary is available to a student who would like to attend the course but is in financial difficulties. Please ask about how to apply when emailing the address below.
