King Lear: Shakespeare Workshop

Each title in this series, written by a range of experienced teachers, provides abundant opportunities for activities which allow students to work towards a thorough understanding of the plays as theatre and literature, towards a range of interpretations of the plays and to explore ways in which a script can be transformed into a stage play.

Most titles include activities dealing with:

• Introduction to the play
• language
• staging and performance
• character
• plot
• themes and issues
• dramatic structure

They are particularly suitable for senior students but can also be used successfully with junior classes.

All activities are photocopiable.
