Shakespeare knew the power of good storytelling and his plays are filled with a wide range of characters who experiment with different ways to hold the listener's ear.
So, who are Shakespeare's most effective storytellers and what tales do they have to tell?
Hear from creative practitioners - discuss live performance - and learn about the creative arts that played an important role in bringing Shakespeare’s stories to life.
Share your thoughts and experiences of what makes a memorable storyteller, and enjoy lively conversations about Shakespeare's plays on page and stage.
Everyone is welcome to our adult leisure courses: from Shakespeare enthusiasts to teachers and lifelong learners with a desire to enhance their knowledge and enjoy good company.
