"taking our theatre out of the theatre"
2025 finally sees the launch of our long-term initiative
"taking our theatre out of the theatre"
After 20 years of creating our brand of Alternative Theatre and Alternative Shakespeare,
we decided our future lies in the digital arena. For the next 5 years we focused
on creating new Zoom footage through workshops, and exploring how
our digital work can capturethe thrill of theatre
and not in a physical space.
Now is about sharing the results of our
work on the world-wide web:
Outlets
YouTube
Our Websites

This page will be updated as and when the initiatives go live. Stay tuned!
Zoom Shakespeare Workshops Course

6 Week Zoom Shakespeare Workshop Courses
For 2 hours every Monday over 6 weeks, we will read, discuss, and workshop selected scenes, speeches, and lines taken from the underbelly of Shakespeare's plays. In these sessions, we seek to analyse how Shakespeare's craft, his ethos, and his intentions all combine to create his masterpieces.
Our unique approach centres on understanding how Shakespeare's legacy can help us develop through sharing and active self-learning. We do so collaboratively, with everyone in the group taking turns reading the lines.
The course is open to anyone who wishes to develop their understanding of the magic and power of Shakespeare, creative writing, and theatre through self-learning. No prior knowledge of the play is required.
In addition, we will be looking at characters from selected plays to create a new play using words/characters/themes from the Shakespeare play, plus new words. The workshops will greatly help in the writing of the final scripts and members can, if they want, be part of taking the new script into a Zoom performance.
Workshop Course Details
On Mondays at 7.00 pm GMT for 6 weeks.
The course of 6 Zoom sessions costs £42.00. Please note that places are limited to 7 participants,
Scripts are emailed in advance, and there is no specific requirement for materials or time commitment outside of the sessions.
Frank Bramwell will lead these sessions; he has led numerous Shakespeare & Theatre-making workshops since 2015, both online and in person.
Interested in joining the group? Please email Frank with some background details about yourself and also what you would like to get from the sessions: theworkshopb1@gmail.com
The course aims to utilise the explorations and discoveries from these sessions to inform new writing performances on Zoom; all group members are eligible for being part of this.
