FAQs
My theatre space is larger - can more than 70 students watch one performance?
Yes. While 70 students is the ideal number for maximum impact, we can accommodate larger audiences if your hall allows it. The performance is designed to be powerful and engaging even for bigger groups, but we also recommend not completely filling your space because we want the students as close to the stage as possible. If you’re unsure, simply provide the approximate number of students and the size of your hall, and we’ll be happy to guide you.
Can I book multiple performances on the same day?
Absolutely. Many schools choose two or three back-to-back performances so different year groups can attend. Just let us know your preferred schedule when you contact us, and we’ll match it to our touring timetable.
Is it helpful if I send you a photo of the performance space?
Yes – very helpful. A quick photo of your hall or classroom allows us to plan the staging and ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s optional, but it always helps us prepare for the best possible experience.Yes – very helpful.

Must the accompanying workshop take place immediately after the performance?
For the strongest learning impact, yes – the workshop is most effective when delivered straight after students have experienced the play. Their emotional and analytical responses are freshest at that moment.
However, let us know what you would prefer, and we can try to work around it.
Can I book the workshops independently of the performance?
Yes. Workshops can be booked separately for classes who are studying Shakespeare, drama, or performance skills – even without the monodrama.
We have students who are serious about acting - do you have anything for them?
Yes. We offer advanced performance-based workshops focused on acting technique, monologue delivery, character development, and professional practice. If you have particularly passionate or talented students, let us know – we can tailor the workshop level to them.
Do you offer support before and/or after the performance?
Yes. We provide:
- Pre-performance guidance on how to prepare students
- Teaching notes to maximise curriculum value
- Post-performance discussion prompts
- Optional follow-up workshops
Our goal is to ensure the performance is not a one-off entertainment moment, but a meaningful learning experience.
How much space do you need to perform?
Very little. Either a theatre stage or school hall is usually perfect. Our monodramas are designed for flexibility, so we adapt easily to the space available.
Do you require any technical equipment?
No. We bring everything we need. Just access to a power outlet and a quiet space is sufficient.
How long is each performance?
Each monodrama is 45 minutes, perfectly designed to fit within a standard lesson.
What age group are the performances suitable for?
Our productions are created specifically for High School students aged 15+.
How early should we book?
We recommend booking up to 3 months in advance, as we tour only certain cities on specific dates and availability is limited.
How do we book?
Simply contact us directly through our form. We’ll get back to you with available dates and next steps.
Can we host both Hamlet and Macbeth on the same day?
Yes – if your timetable allows and our schedule aligns, we can perform both plays at your school on the same day.
