CREATIVITY IN LEARNING -AND MUSIC THEATRE SHAKESPEARE

"In the same way that opera is an art form that people come to appreciate later in life, musical theatre is readily accepted and enjoyed by people of all ages - especially the young. So why not accept this and use it as a bridge to the enjoyment of other parts of our cultural heritage, such as opera, ballet and particularly SHAKESPEARE." JC

What they say about us:

S4K HAMLET: "I have seen many Hamlets over the years: among others, David Warner in 1965, Richard Chamberlain (anyone old enough to remember 'Doctor Kildare?), Alan Bates, Roger Reece, Julian Glover, Michael Mahoney, Mark Rylance, Derek Jacobi and Kenneth Branagh (As you can imagine, there have been some fine Gertrudes, Poloniuses - or should it be 'Polonii'? - and Ophelias as well); and I have taught the play to A-level and degree level. To be honest, I went along today with some apprehension. I am delighted to say that my misgivings were groundless - I was as enthralled as the children. My sincere thanks and congratulations to you all."
