About the workshop
In preparation for STC’s adaptation of HAMLET later this year; this workshop is designed to give actors and directors an insight into the art of performing Shakespeare’s plays. Mhairi will share her vast experience of coaching actors in the speaking of Shakespeare’s text to bring it alive for a modern audience. We will be exploring extracts from Shakespeare’s most well-known plays, including specifically HAMLET.
