Two of our Producers went to see the Aspire Theatre Company in action at their End Of Term show and to explain about Play In A Week to their cast and supporters.

The amazingly talented children treated us to individually performed extracts from Shakspeare’s “Scottish play”. After the intermission all the cast performed Romeo and Juliet in its entirety at a standard which would not have been out of place on a London stage.

Once again we would like to thank Jeanette and her team for their generosity in supporting Play In A Week.

We are delighted to announce that the Aspire Theatre Company have decided to support Play In A Week as their chosen charity.

Their Director, Jeanette Lawrence, heard about us from Josh, one of our amazing volunteers. She visited us a couple of times during the week and was blown away by the experience. Part of Aspire’s philosphy is to “put back” into the wider theatrical world and they have made us part of this through their generosity.

Aspire Theatre Company is a performance based drama company, for 11-25 year olds, that specialises in adapting, modernising and performing Shakespeare’s plays. We love a contemporary twist and aim to tell his stories in a fun, dynamic, physical way.
