On Saturday 20th November Red Rose Chain hosted a Shakespeare drama workshop, offering young people a day of fun and creative expression, with the chance to develop their acting skills, or even try their hand at drama for the first time.

The free workshop was held at our studio at Gippeswyk Hall and attended by 20 young people, working alongside skilled professionals from Red Rose Chain.
Artistic Director Joanna Carrick was joined by Assistant Producer/Actor Michael Linge and Steve Whyte, an Actor with our Community Theatre Group, to work with participants on developing their acting and drama skills with a focus on Shakespeare.
The day was also a great opportunity for the young people to meet like-minded peers, and also to discover how they can get involved with Red Rose Chain’s work in the future. Some of the feedback we received from the day:
“Have really loved today! Great experience, great staff, great fun!”
“I have really enjoyed today and I have learned a lot. I would love to be involved in volunteering.“
“Understanding Shakespeare in a new light; more relevant, more understandable. There should be more events like this! The lessons on language will help a lot in GCSE English and Poetry.”
Many thanks to all those who attended and well done on a fantastic day. If you would like to hear about future events at Red Rose Chain, please visit redrosechain.com and sign up to our E-Newsletter.
