Sky Blue’s Shakespeare Rewired® workshops have been performed across the country at over 300 schools to over 50,000 delighted students.
Primary School Shakespeare Rewired (KS2)
Our primary school workshops use the students' own words and ideas to retell the chosen Shakespeare play through an interactive and highly-entertaining format that sees pupils become the stars of the show, complete with costumes to wear and props to wield - all under our expert direction. Workshops are precisely tailored for students at KS2, helping to develop speaking and listening skills through drama and are a great stimulus to a unit of work.

Secondary School Shakespeare Rewired (KS3/4)
Our Shakespeare Rewired® workshop facilitators are all professional, classically trained actors with years of experience in both education and stage performance. Using skills they have acquired working for companies such as The Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Theatre, The Globe and The Reduced Shakespeare Company our talented facilitators guide your students carefully through one of Shakespeare's stories.
Multiple workshops may be run in a day. 2 hour workshops include a performance of the story with student volunteers and an in-depth look at key scenes with a chance for students to re-direct our actors and evaluate the outcome. There may also be a chance to hot seat characters during the 'Jeremy Vile show'.
