Can you create a play in a week? Join professional theatre‑makers for a lively, creative summer school where you’ll develop performance and technical theatre skills, make new friends and have plenty of fun in the process.

Starting with no script, characters or props, you’ll play, experiment and collaborate to build an entirely new show – complete with a sharing at the end of the week. There is no pressure to perform, just come and be creative!
