If music be the food of love…

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

This week sees Carl Heap’s Twelfth Night arrive at Bristol Old Vic’s Studio Theatre. Heap’s child-friendly adaptation promises to deliver an energetic, fun and musical introduction to Shakespeare’s work and language for children of eight and above.

Seven actors play multiple characters (and instruments) in Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identity, practical jokes and unrequited love. There are also workshops available before the shows (suitable for Key Stage 2/ years 3 -6) which provide a concise preamble to the Characters, Themes and Language which inhabit this, and other, Shakespeare plays. Developed through the National Theatre’s education department, Twelfth Night is sure to captivate youngsters and give them a real insight into the transforming magic of theatre itself.

Find out what is happening in the weekly young company sessions that involve over 400 young people each week

open evening - the voice of youth!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

The evening opened with the stage being taken over by a group of 2nd year actors from the theatre school- if you sneaked in beforehand you would have seen some improvised Shakespeare, evidence that if you give a group of young actors a free theatre they can create anything! They performed for the young audience two songs from their forthcoming performance of Cider with Rosie opening on the 7th May at the Redgrave Theatre. It was fantastic to see the stage being used and the captivated audience were desperate for them to continue. (more…)
