Theatre Workshop

Posted: 15/01/2019

On Thursday, 10th January, Bromsgrove School welcomed multi award-winning theatre company ‘Spies Like Us’ to Cobham Theatre.

The cast of five actors performed their production of Woyzeck to the School after delivering a series of workshops to drama atudents in Year 8 and the Lower Fourth. The cast were kind enough to talk to the audience after the performance and answer questions on their devising process and their approaches to developing an idea from the page to the stage.

Spies Like Us formed after working together as members of the Young Pleasance Theatre Company (the youth theatre attached to the Pleasance in London) which takes groups of young people to Edinburgh every year to perform at the Fringe Festival for three weeks. Their sell-out production of Our Man In Havana will tour the UK and Hong Kong later this year.

The students were extremely excited to work with an emerging theatre group, hopefully inspiring the next generation of theatre makers to follow in their footsteps.
