World Theatre Day Workshop

10th April 2025

All the world really is a stage at Hinchingbrooke School

To celebrate World Theatre Day, Lynne Livingstone from Shakespeare at the Towers hosted an unforgettable Shakespearean workshop for pupils at Hinchingbrooke School, Huntingdon.

Designed to make Shakespeare accessible and fun for young people, the free workshop at the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) was attended by year 11, 12 and 13 Drama students and was part of a range of activities, events and celebrations taking place at theatres all around the world.

“We’re delighted that the workshop was so well received, to the point whereby we’ll be building on it with another session next term,” explained Reuben Milne, chair of Shakespeare at the Towers.  “Our mission is to help support and develop theatre skills in the area and this is a great way of bringing that to life for the next generation of actors and theatre makers.”

“Hinchingbrooke are extremely grateful to form a working relationship with Shakespeare at the Towers,” added Elicia Alexander, Head of Drama at Hinchingbrooke School. “It was a lovely way to celebrate World Theatre Day and we’d like to thank Lynne for delivering such an engaging workshop. The students found the experience invaluable, helping them see past the barriers in the Shakespearian language by using physical and vocal skills to explore the text from page to stage.”
