Reviews
“I would like to say a big thank you for today’s Macbeth workshop. The children found it very exciting and were hooked from start to finish. It was perfect for the age range, very entertaining and engaging. The students had a wonderful experience”.
Clapham Terrace Primary School, Leamington Spa.
“We really enjoyed our workshop on The Tempest. The children were so engaged by the activities which were creative, well-led and allowed them all to be involved, expressing themselves (which is what they love!). We would definitely be asking Rachel to come again and work with our children”.
Holy Trinity C of E, Stratford-upon-Avon.
“Rachel’s got an incredible knack for being able to command the attention of an entire room of children with nothing but her sheer enthusiasm for Shakespeare! She made the rather daunting task of introducing 9 and 10 year olds to Macbeth seem effortless. Her workshop was so engaging and informative but most importantly, it was great fun!”
