THE VILLAINS OF SHAKESPEARE

THE VILLAINS OF SHAKESPEARE

Hell is empty and all the devils are here!!

This week, we’ll be delving into the intriguing world of Shakespearean villains. This unique exploration of the darker characters in Shakespearean plays provides children with an opportunity to delve into the complexities of these infamous figures and the moral dilemmas they present. Fictional villains have the power to captivate children, drawing them into the narrative, world, and characters of a story. Through games, scene work, group choral work, etc, our Players will be developing creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human nature as portrayed in literature and drama.
