Join this Continuing Professional Development session and equip yourself with tools and an in-depth understanding of Shakespeare’s epic story of love, duty and power, Antony & Cleopatra, to enhance your teaching in the classroom. This is an in-person event hosted on-site at Shakespeare’s Globe.

Aimed at secondary teachers, with a particular focus on Key Stage 5, the session will demonstrate how to use practical, rehearsal room techniques to enliven and deepen your students’ understanding of the play’s characters, context, themes and imagery, and develop their critical thinking skills.

You’ll complete your experience by watching a matinee performance of Antony & Cleopatra in the Globe itself.

This CPD is production-specific, highlighting themes and concepts pertinent to our Summer 2024 production of Antony & Cleopatra.

Your experience includes:

• A two-and-a-half-hour workshop with an expert practitioner
• A tour of the Globe Theatre
• A seated ticket to the matinee performance of Antony & Cleopatra and complimentary programme
• A teacher resource pack to help you embed your learning in the classroom

Despite their cultures being worlds apart, when Roman general Antony falls for Egyptian queen Cleopatra, the future of their two countries hangs in the balance. Blanche McIntyre (Measure for Measure, ★★★★ ‘exquisitely smart’ Time Out) directs this ground-breaking bilingual production using Spoken English and British Sign Language.
