Primary Shakespeare

For over 30 years Primary Shakespeare has introduced tens of thousands of young people to the magic of Shakespeare and live theatre.

Our next production in summer term 2024 will be Hamlet. Designed for Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6), Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy is brought to life in a fast-paced, interactive production.

Each class’s experience includes:

Two-hour workshop in your school ahead of the show
One-hour interactive performance at the OT

Booking will open in the autumn term.
