Regional Shakespeare Festival

On Wednesday 24th March we were very pleased to host this event, organised by Allens Croft Primary School. Each year the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon recruits 10 to 12 hub schools from across the country to co-ordinate a regional Shakespeare Festival. As hub school, Allens Croft worked with a cluster of eight other schools in the area to provide primary children with the opportunity to explore Shakespeare’s work through performance. The project is also supported by the Arts Council, Creative Partnerships and the University of Warwick. The end result was a production in our Sports Hall and budding thespians had a fantastic experience. The performances illustrated the very different approaches taken by each school and the unique responses of the young people to Shakespeare’s stories, characters and language. The schools taking part were from Allens Croft Primary, Moor Green Primary, Arden Primary, Colmore Infants and Juniors, Hollywood Primary, Hall Green Junior, Montgomery Primary and St. Brigid’s Catholic Primary.
