Everything you need to be able to play as a performer with Shakespeare’s text. A practical look at all the important and often overlooked basics, including:
Verse and prose – decoding the language
Understanding and playing the situation
Useful tips on how to approach text (basic rhetorical figures)

Being understood easily by an audience, and feeling engaged with the character and dialogue is fundamental to a great experience with Shakespeare’s verse or prose, whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time.

The Actors’ Workshop Bristol has built a unique reputation for teaching and performing Shakespeare – it lies at the very heart of our work. All students receive extensive training in classical verse.

Our productions of Twelfth Night in 2023 and Macbeth in 2024 at the Loco Klub, Temple Meads were sold out and hugely well-received. Directed and designed by Jennifer Higham & Clara Marullo and performed by graduating members of our Foundation Course in Acting, these fresh, innovative productions focused on making the storytelling relevant to a contemporary audience without ever compromising the verse.
