Lively Action Workshops
‘It was really active and fun. It helped me to understand the language.’
— Student
Lively Action workshops encapsulate the spirit at the core of all our work – that plays should be explored actively. They can be based on any Shakespeare play and are delivered at the Globe or in your school.
