AT LISBON PLAYERS

Saturday July 11^th and Sunday July 12^th from 3 to 7pm.

Shakespeare was not writing literature in his plays. Much of what he wrote was a practical guidebook for people working in the theatre about how he imagined his plays on stage. The Lisbon Players has long been involved in presenting the works of Shakespeare on stage and is now offering two workshops for actors of any nationality or linguistic background on how to approach Shakespeare’s plays.

The workshops will be led by Jonathan Weightman who has been involved with many Lisbon Players productions. He lectures on theatre production at the Faculdade de Letras, Lisbon University. In the autumn he will be directing Hamlet.

All that is required from participants is an interest in theatre and reasonably proficient English! If you’re interested mail jonweigh@netcabo.pt with a brief CV and statement of interest.

The workshops are free but applications will only be accepted until June 25^th.

NOTE: there is a limit on the number of  participants and you will be notified of acceptance at the workshops as soon as possible but no later than June 30^th .
