ThereisBear! Theatre Company
Let the bears transport you through the pages of Shakespeare’s text with experienced actors and directors. Using a variety of rehearsal and workshop techniques, we will bring these plays to life in a revision session like no other. ThereisBear!’s actors and directors will work together with exam students to unlock the page and bring it to life on stage.
Macbeth
ThereisBear! will bring the darkness and witchcraft of Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy to vivid life. Experience a fresh, quick-fire round of Shakespeare on its feet and at its finest! Together with students, the Bears will stage key scenes and work the students through how they most embody the themes, images and symbols the play evokes. Including a sample character study of the eponymous antihero, the workshop will give students skills which will help with their revision. The students will go home with booklets reviewing what they have learnt, new skills in approaching a theatrical text, and some interesting memories that will help that pesky prose stick with them all the better!
