Event Description
The goal of this workshop is to spend an hour reading a scene or two from Shakespeare together, digging into the meanings of the verse and action, and enjoying hearing the words read aloud. This is not an acting class and absolutely no experience with performing or any knowledge of Shakespeare is required. During the session anyone who wants to will have the opportunity to read aloud, after which Anna will facilitate some discussion of the meaning of the words, how we feel about the characters, and what we think about the action. Throughout the workshop there will be opportunities to read some lines aloud but it is not mandatory if you would prefer to be an encouraging listener.
Here are the links to the scenes for everyone can access and read/print:

Meet the Host, Anna Malzy
Anna Malzy has been around Shakespeare from an early age, having fallen in love with him when playing one of Titania’s fairies aged about 10. She is now an associate artist with Shakespeare Link, running online and schools workshops, as well as helping produce events. She is based in the south of France with her partner, baby, and their sausage dog Charlie, and works remotely as a teacher and translator.

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
