Explore Shakespeare’s Classic Speeches with Liz Light
This is an intensive course, where participants must sign up for the whole week.
We will be looking at 20+ key and famous speeches from 15 plays – paraphrasing them, looking at the scansion (don’t worry if you haven’t done any of this, we will teach you), discussing themes and where they sit within the play/canon and why.
The week will include a look at Shakespeare’s career as a whole, as well as common themes and plot lines. We will also be staging 5 minute versions of some of the plays to get a (weird and wonderful) overview!
The speeches are all taken from the list for LAMDA’s Shakespeare Level 3 Syllabus, so anyone taking this course will be able to sign up for this A level standard exam in the future (once you have passed Levels 1 and 2).
They are also from all the texts set for GCSE and A level English, so this will be very useful for school – or just come and appreciate the beautiful language and expand your general knowledge and insight.
Please note that this course is mainly theory based, with only a bit of practical, so may not suit everyone (we suggest members aged 11 and above). We will be providing handouts, but will also expect participants to write some notes throughout too.
£125 for the week. Booking is open – siblings and friends welcome.

At Stage2, it is very important to us that finance isn’t a barrier for young people to access the Arts. That is why we have a fully functional Subsidy Fund, where people can claim full or part subsidies for Stage2 activities. For more information about this, please visit the Subsidy Page and/or email info@stage2.org .
