We use the diverse themes of Shakespeare, universal to the human condition, to shed light on the consequences of our choices. Our Players tell stories, decode the language, improvise, role play, and rehearse. All this culminates in a public performance. Through these practices, the students organically develop a personal relationship with the play and its characters. In this process, we build literacy, communication skills, self-esteem and a strong community spirit.
