We are looking for actors who possess a true passion for and extensive understanding of Shakespeare to participate in an exciting series of school workshops touring across England.

These are not scripted Theater in Education (TIE) performances. Instead, the workshops are actor-driven sessions centered around Shakespeare’s texts. You will rehearse and present key scenes with high proficiency, engaging live student audiences while guiding them through the language, characters, and themes in an interactive and adaptive manner.

Actors are expected to take the lead by blending performance with facilitation, shaping each session based on the dynamics and input of the students present.

Travel and accommodation are provided. Must be London-based.

Dates

Tours schools across England (one school per day).

Title

Macbeth/Demetrius/Lord Capulet/Facilitator

Content

A key part of the role involves guiding students through the full story, with students stepping into roles as part of a wider, interactive telling before actors move into focused work on Shakespeare’s scripted scenes. This requires clarity of storytelling, strong presence, and the ability to hold the room while keeping the narrative moving.

Confidence, leading and adapting work in the moment is essential. When facilitating, you will need to respond instinctively to what students offer with wit and charm, incorporating their ideas while maintaining structure, pace and focus. This flexibility is central to the work; every workshop is different, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging for both students and actors.

Work is across Key Stage 2, 3 and 4, with plays including Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

The role involves touring schools across England, typically one school per day.
