Shakespeare Week 22 | Resources & Performances
We had the privilege to work with Shakespeare Birthplace Trust as part of this year's Shakespeare Week. We wrote a sensory resource for early years and SEND exploring low-cost/no-cost ways to explore 'The Tempest' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Each play's narrative takes the format of a journey through the plot and through environments and characters, using imaginative sensory play at home and in local parks and wild spaces . It is hoped the resource will be available online for purchase in the future, but for now it's being given free to families in Coventry and to audiences attending performances of 'Be Not Afeard'.

We also performed a day of 'Be Not Afeard' at Coventry Central Library, followed by two days at Shakespeare's own house with open air shows in the glorious New Place gardens in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Feedback from the Shakespeare Birthplace Team:
"[We were] blown away by ‘Be Not Afeard’ and how talented you and Ellie are. Not just your performing talents but the incredible way in which you interact with the little ones and how truly inclusive you are as a company. What you’ve achieved is unique, powerful and genuinely life-changing. Every child in the country deserves an experience with Collar and Cuffs!"
