Shakespeare Club
Welcome to the Shakespeare Club page!
Each year Sheringham takes part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival, where a group of devoted students work hard to create a short adaptation of a Shakespeare play.
Last year we had amazing success with production of Macbeth, which was performed at the Ilford Broadway Theatre. Take a look at the incredible cast on stage!
We are happy to announce that this year's play is...
Romeo and Juliet!
These activities have been designed for children who are interested in Shakespeare or drama and are considering participating in this year’s festival or any other opportunities that may arise. Below are some activities and resources to become familiar with the story.

Script
Download the PDF of the script here. It might be fun to read through it and have a go at some of the challenging language.
Note: please don’t memorise the script: if we are able to perform next term there will be lots of changes and parts cut out.
