I really wanted to take the time and email you to say thank you for the Ancient Egyptian workshop yesterday at Manchester Muslim Prep School. It was delivered by Rob and it was fantastic from start to finish. He really brought Ancient Egypt alive and all the children were so engaged and constantly belly laughing! I have no doubt that this will have a huge impact of their retainment of key knowledge and help me develop the unit this half term.
I will definitely be looking to book again in the future.

“Today’s performance was fabulous! It was carefully pitched for all children to access the importance of climate change, from reception to year 6. The children were all engaged and keen to interact. The puppets were brilliant — really funny. The message was very clear, presented in an engaging way. Thanks again for a fabulous show.”

Macbeth Workshop for KS2
Get your pupils hooked on Shakespeare. This non-stop workshop will have them scrabbling for the text book. The workshop is great fun and very physical, with everyone moving around the hall in the warm-up as kings, queens, soldiers and witches, even taking on the part of Birnam Wood!
The company will arrive at your school with a pop up theatre experience and facilitate the workshop in your hall. The workshop has been designed for one class at a time and can fit into your school’s schedule. It lasts approximately 75 minutes.
Everyone gets a chance to act and we work through the plot and characters, culminating in the class feeling that Shakespeare is fun, accessible, engaging and that the Macbeth story is awesome!
