The productions are accompanied by workshops that explore the topics raised in the play through interactive activities, designed to accommodate half and full days within schools.
Our theatre pieces are highly educational, whilst still being a fun and engaging way for young people to learn in a safe environment. Using ‘forum theatre’ we give the young people an opportunity to implement what they have learnt in the workshops.
