Next Public Speaking Shakespeare Workshop

Matthew's next public workshop, Speak the Speeches, will be in the Brompton Cemetery chapel on Thursday 27th August (5.45pm to 7.45pm).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the workshop, Matthew will introduce the principles of voice work and use exercises to help participants explore their voices as they speak some really powerful speeches from Romeo and Juliet; A Midsummer Night's Dream; Henry V; Julius Caesar; and other plays.

The workshop is suitable for regular participants and for people who've never done spoken voice work.

It's equally suitable for Shakespeare aficionados and for those who've never read a line of his poetry.
 

Children over 12 are welcome - if accompanied by a parent.
