William Shakespeare: the bard, England’s national poet, the world’s greatest dramatist. Untouchable, inimitable… unimprovisable, right? Surely you can’t just ‘make up’ Shakespeare? You absolutely can and it’s beautiful and hilarious in equal measure. Join this workshop where you will achieve the impossible by improvising in the style of Shakespeare.

Using a range of techniques and games, a mixture of short and long form improvisation, and a touch of parody, we’ll have Shakespeare’s quill putting words straight into our mouths.

Exploring the range of Shakespeare’s genres and themes – comedic, tragic, historic, and the simply weird; we’ll become improvised royals and nobles, fools, witches, ‘rude mechanicals’, unrequited lovers, witty youths, warriors and fairies.
This workshop is suitable for those with a basic level of improvisation (comfortable being in a scene) and a reasonable grasp of the English language. No previous study or performance of Shakespeare is necessary.

Rebecca MacMillan

has been teaching improv for twenty years. She’s been learning and performing improv since before then, taking inspiration from a huge range of schools, teachers and other influences. She’s active in developing an improv community in Stroud, where she lives. Co-founder of the Maydays, she also performs with Closer Each Day – the improvised soap, Impromptu Shakespeare, No Expectations – the Improvised Dickens Show & The Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes. Rebecca is a nurturing and supportive teacher with a playful sparkle, and loves to help improvisers and teams to discover their improv super powers, and lean into, collaborate together with, and take joy from them.
