2 KEY INFORMATION: THIS SHOW IS SPECIFICALLY DEVISED TO INTRODUCE SHAKESPEARE TO PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN AT YEAR 3, YEAR 4, YEAR 5, AND YEAR 6, TO LEAVE THE CHILDREN WITH AN ENDURING IMPRESSION OF THE MAGIC THAT SHAKESPEARE PROVIDES, BRINGING THE STORY ALIVE THROUGH ACTIVE DRAMA, EXPLORING THE CHARACTERS AND PLOT, AND SHOWING HOW TO ENJOY THE LANGUAGE. THE PLAY IS A CONCISE ABRIDGED VERSION OF THE ENTIRE PLAY, AND CONCENTRATES ON ALL THE KEY SCENES. THE PLAY IS BROUGHT VIVIDLY TO LIFE. THE PLAY FLOWS AS A COMPLETE PLAY IN ITSELF, AND IS NOT A SERIES OF INDIVIDUAL UNCONNECTED SCENES. THE WHOLE 60 MINUTE PERFORMANCE ACCURATELY CAPTURES THE DRAMA OF SHAKESPEARE S FAMOUS TRAGEDY, AND BRINGS THE TEXT TO LIFE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES TO ENJOY. WE USE AN ENSEMBLE OF SKILLED ACTORS, AND WE ARE WELL KNOWN FOR OUR ENERGETIC, VIGOROUS, PHYSICAL THEATRE PERFORMANCES WHERE CLOSE ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE LANGUAGE, BRINGING THE PERFORMANCE ALIVE AS A DYNAMIC, WELL-SPOKEN DISPLAY OF THEATRE.

3 MORE ABOUT THE SHOW: ROMEO AND JULIET contains some of Shakespeare's most beautiful and lyrical love poetry, and some of his best-loved characters. The romance is played out against a background of gang-warfare and street-fighting as the bitter long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for the young lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly, and fate causes them to commit suicide in despair. Our performance has a linked sequence of events using the original text from the following scenes in the original play, and all performed using the original language: Our Scenes (in order) 1. Two Families at War Prologue Source in the Text 2. Capulet s Party Act I, Scene 5 3. A Surprise Visit Act II, Scene 2 4. Nature and Poison Act II, Scene 3 5. Marriage Plans Act II, Scenes 4, 5 6. Street Fighting Act III, Scene 1 7. Difficult Parents Act III, Scene 5 8. Wedding Preparations Act IV, Scenes 2 to 5 9. Two Families Reconciled? Act V, Scene 3 ROMEO AND JULIET is probably Shakespeare s most famous play, set against a violent background of hate and rivalry that is still recognisable in modern life. Set against a long history of family feuding between the Montagues and the Capulets, Romeo Montague falls hopelessly in love with Juliet Capulet, and from the very beginning fate has decided that the two of them are doomed... The couple have a feeling that things will go badly for them: Romeo thinks something is 'hanging in the stars', while Juliet says a 'faint cold fear thrills through my veins'. They believe their love can conquer their families hate, but it is proven to be too fragile, and because of their ill-fated star-crossed love a series of events, both comic and tragic, unfolds in a very short space of time as true love turns to tragedy. The play explores love either as spiritual friendships, or the romantic love between the main characters, but entwined within the love is death, conflict, loyalty, and fate... for fate has badly treated the lovers and their brief affair. For this production we have created a clear, condensed, working guide to Shakespeare's romantic tragedy particularly aimed at Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 Primary schools pupils. This is an abridged version of the entire play, concentrating on all the key scenes, characters and confrontations, and flows seamlessly. This detailed dramatic overview of the play will create a strong, lasting impact with pupils; and brings vividly to life the plot, the characters, and the themes of the forcefulness of love, love as a cause for violence, the individual versus society, and the inevitability of fate. The whole 60 minute performance is very tight and compelling: accurately capturing the tense tragedy of Shakespeare s text. Performed by our talented ensemble of professional actors, this production will have a strong and lasting impact on the audience, and will bring the text vividly to life. PLUS: after each performance we have a 30-minute, face-to-face interactive discussion with our young audience, guided by actors in the company, where we can talk directly to the main characters in the play by hot-seating ROMEO and JULIET, or any of the other characters, and examine their contrasting personalities, thoughts and motives, and help to explain/ expand/ explore the text by actively involving the young audience through a carefully structured range of drama and language activities as we unravel the plot, characters, themes, language and style of MACBETH. Each performance lasts 60 minutes, followed by the interactive discussion which lasts 30 minutes. All told a total of 1½ hours of compelling Shakespeare for Primary Schools.

4 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Who are these shows suitable for? All of these presentations are devised specifically for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 Primary School Pupils as a compelling introduction to Shakespeare. What space and equipment do you need the school to provide? We will use the School Hall and make full use of available space. All performances are presented front-on: if there is a stage then we will use that, otherwise we will perform on the floor. We DO NOT need the school to provide any equipment, and we will bring everything with us, including costume changes and small props to be used in the performance. There is no set or lighting equipment to erect. Set up time is 25 minutes, and we would need the space to ourselves for this preparation time. What can we expect from the presentation? Each of these presentations lasts 90 MINUTES. We start with a performance of the play, which lasts for approx. 60 MINUTES and is a concise, abridged version of the entire story, devised specially for Keystage 2 pupils, and performed by our ensemble of talented, professional actors. The play is performed using the original language. Concentrating on key scenes, characters and confrontations, each play flows seamlessly, and our detailed dramatic overview of this compelling story is constructed to create a strong, lasting impact with pupils: and brings the plot, the characters, and the themes vividly to life. We are well known for our energetic, vigorous, physical theatre performances where close attention is paid to the language, bringing the performance alive as a dynamic, well-spoken display of theatre, and each performance will have a strong impact on the audience, and will vividly bring the text to life. Following the performance there is a face-to-face interactive discussion which lasts 30 MINUTES. This is guided by actors in the company, and driven by a Q&A session where our young audience is encouraged to talk directly to the fascinating characters in the performance by hotseating them, and asking any questions they may have. Each question and answer develops an area of discussion and activity which unravels the plot, characters and themes of the story. This session is always extremely popular with teachers and pupils, and adds an extra dimension to the understanding of the play. Do you provide any resource material to accompany the presentation? TWO WEEKS before our visit we will you with full details of of our visit (including a confirmation of timings, plus the names of the actors, and their DBS details), and we will also include access to a TEACHERS INFORMATION PACK for you to print. This pack helps to maximise the impact of our visit: containing important background information to the play; a full list of scenes that you can expect to see in our performance; character profiles; an analysis of the story; some follow-up quizzes for you to use with the audience; and some suggested reading, writing, drama and art activities for both teachers and pupils to use after our visit has ended. This pack adds real value to our visit on the day. How does this presentation help our audiences? A live performance of a text has a great impact on learning, and stays in the pupils minds long after we have left the school. Shakespeare was never written to be merely read in class, but to be performed by actors, and presented to a live audience, and our presentation vividly lifts the words, the scenes, the plot and the characters off the page and BRINGS THE PLAY TO LIFE, giving voice to the words, making it easier to understand the plot, characters, themes, language and style of the stories, and the Q&A session after the performance allows the audience to unlock the story even more by quizzing the characters, nd getting constructive answers to enable them to better understand the play.
