For our 3 day autumn course Bill Alexander will work on The Merchant of Venice from October 17 - 19 at The Playground Theatre, Latimer Rd, W10.

Bill has directed The Merchant several times including at the RSC with Tony Sher as Shylock. Our first production was Bill's new 6 character version in late 2021 also at The Playground.

Bill's new book Exploring Shakespeare, A Director's Notes from the Rehearsal Room, was published by Nick Hern Books in May this year.

' Bill Alexander is a brilliant director, whose work has powerfully shaped my understanding of Shakespeare's plays, Richard III most of all'

James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare

The cost is £225 for the 3 days of workshops - £75 per day. We will work from 10.00 - 4.00 with 30 mins for lunch each day.

Bill says any edition of the play is fine to bring along.

16 - 18 year olds free places available on application.
